Out of the Dark and into the Light.....

[Jimbo]

But, perhaps most important of all, I learned that I have a much clearer perception of what my W is going through, and I am not as afraid of it as I once was. I have a skill set to cope with everything that has been thrown at me so far, and a pretty good idea of what else to expect should it come down the pike. Most importantly, I have a MUCH better appreciation of how to handle it.

Good for you Jimbo.

No unrealistic hopes or expecations, amazing interplay, amazing control...rookie of the year!

Seriously good job, excellent response over the top of your glasses BTW.

Thanks, dude! I was really surprised at how my inner dialogue was rolling in real time as I was interacting with W, pointing out all the "symptoms" I've read about and discussed here on the board and elsewhere, and how all the coaching on what to do and not do became so instinctive. Learned a lot about myself, too.
