Stacy,

On the card issue, get some opinions but I'm of the mind right now that you could just say "here's what you requested, let me know if I missed anything" and yes I would include pictures of d14. Why not? A few reminders of good times cannot hurt. In fact if there are any of you two or all of you together that are not clearly the romantic type, why not include one or two? It will always be important to remember those times...

Glad your family is helping you. Also am not clear on the tax filing. Are you saying he did this to hide facts from you? Are YOU getting the refund? Hope your L is on top of that. Signing your name "for you" AIN"T cool...but you getting money IS.

Turning it over to God...how to do that....great question. I read Marianne Willaimson's books on returning to love and handling anger, cannot recall the names of all of them including one on CD. BUT she has exercises in it that helped ME to do so. I'd take showers or "power walks" and literally say out loud to God, and MEAN IT, "I turn my pain and anger over to you God" or "I turn this m over to you God" and I'd say it 100 times out loud in the shower. Sounds gimmicky & "new agey" but it always calmed me and helped especially when I knew h would call. I mean, I was raised attending services weekly and I can see that some "rituals" help us to reinforce our faith and or to settle us down. All I know is it helped me. And oh, after you "turn it over" --try really hard not to take it back from Him. Know what I mean?
You'll have to TRUST that he'll give you what you need...or lead you to it.

Hang in there, and fyi, more people post during the week, or wait for updates from you, so don't take it personally if they get delayed. Good luck,
( j )
