Erin, HUD, Sue thanks for the support.

Andy, I'd had a vague recollection of seeing a reference to dancing somewhere here before. Thanks for the link again ... its exactly what I was refering to in my post.

I've repeatedly written it so many times on this bb, when you wake up in the morning, ask thyself, "What can I do to make today better than yesterday?". Somehow over the course of the last few months, I had unintentionally changed that so I was indiscreetly asking myself "What I can do tomorrow to make it better than today?", as if that would stop a mine from going KABOOOM. If fact, I became too fixated on preventing the KABOOOM, that I felt paralyzed in the minefield.

Time to get back to making the most of today ... so if that means dancing in the minefield ... so be it!

If she is unhappy with the way her life is ... so be it ... its her problem ... I'll keep dancing.

So if what is going on in her head makes her cold & distant ... so be it ... its her problem ... I'll keep dancing.

If she feels she needs to walk away from this M ... so be it ... its her problem ... I'll keep dancing.

If for the moment, she wants to hold hands ... give me a kiss or hug ... share a loving moment with me ... so be it ... I will revel in sharing the dance with her ... and it will still be her problem.

Lately, I've been dancing more by myself without ask her to dance. Since last weekend, I've notice she's been tapping me on the shoulder more often, asking me if she could have this dance with me.

Yea, I'm back in my metaphorical form. Hope it doesn't annoy you folks too much.

'til later,
KAW
