KenF, Hey - so glad that you'll have sweet D with you soon - that's just wonderful.
Thanks for swinging back through - I remember when I started to notice that your tone had changed in your posts - that your personality had started to come through more - especially your humor - I was so glad to see that - and I hoped that I might get there someday myself.
I am feeling very different these days - aware of how much I have to do for me and my kids - and also aware of how much I used to hold my W accountable for things that really were my own issues. Of course, she still has her stuff to sort out - but knowing that I can do NOTHING to change/fix/convince/sway/correct her frees me up a lot. And it's a freedom I've chosen to take into other aspects of my life as well - I still step in and help strangers - but I don't try to take care of everything around me as much as I used to - instead I let people take care of things themselves...it's an attitude adjustment - but I think it's been helping me a lot.
That hockey commercial had me cracking up...but I came back...indeed.
