It's been 5 days since I returned back from my visit with my 3 boys. The tough realization that I am physically alone again sets in. I had a couple of crying moments as I looked at the pictures I took of my sons.

Since I returned, I had dinner with my neighbor friends twice. It was great to just be with other people. Took my mind off being away from my W and kids. I believe this is when GALing really comes into play in the DB process...Can't always stay in the doom-gloom mentality. Got to pick myself up somehow.
I learned nobody will do the GALing for you. Either you do it yourself or you remain in that doom-gloom state.

GALing requires a lot of willpower to pull myself up and "see the sunlight". I love that saying someone put on this BB: no matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up. Gotta do it.
