Thanks. S10 went with me to meet "gym woman" (I feel bad calling her that, but how else do you respond?). We had a great time! She came with me today when I addressed a local business group about my Iraq experience, and she told me she loved every minute of it. Her middle daughter made sure that she invited me to a party involving the parents at her private HS yesterday, which I went to. Gym Woman assured me her D16 had never asked any one to do this before, so it's all good. Our Ds18 and Ds16 know each other and like each other. They went to school together. She told me that if I had left my STBXW, she probably would have never dated me, based on what happened to her.

Have faith DBers! I NEVER expected to be happy this Christmas. It literally fell out of the sky when I least expected it. Go back and read how I met htis woman, and all the shi* that had to fall into place for it to happen. Read the book "The Secret".....think WAY positive. You WILL all find your own "Lightning in a Bottle"
