You are doing a great job, Jackie. Keep acting as if, be glad to see him as you are planning to. If he needs more time, you can give him that. Plan something really special for yourself this weekend. How about a massage?

I thought of the other idea I had yesterday - I think I have mentioned it before here somewhere, but not sure. Have you ever seen Flylady's website? I found it when looking for house organization/cleaning suggestions. It is mainly about the house, but does also touch on taking care of yourself, living joyfully. It's free to join, and I've really enjoyed it. Sounds kind of wierd as I type it, but it's really been helpful and inspiring - especially during this painful time.

I'll be thinking of you this weekend.
