Thank you so much! I should try to use running in a preventative manner. I just have been a bit of a sissy in the wee hours during the workweek. It has been in the thirties here - a bit chilly for my current resolve.
I have a question for you. I am a bit lost with the "dropping the rope" thing. Does that mean letting go of the hope for reconciliation or is it just a synonym for detaching?
