Hi Everybody!!! I've been busy down here with my team--doing training for a Tribal Youth Drug Court we are putting together. I've gotten to meet Indians from all over and have visited a few reservations here.
The sunshine is AWESOME! It was 98 degrees here today and we are all happy because there was 8-12 inches of rain back home & lots of flooding and power outages. After we get done tomorrow morning, I'm going to give myself a birthday present--I'm going to sit by the pool all day, soaking sun and reading the Darwin Awards LOLOL!
Happy Birthday to me!
I'm going to have to travel more often cuz I've been noticing that lots of guys seem to be flirting with me and that's kinda nice for my ego. My ego took quite a beating this last year.
Kaw--you crack me up! Maybe I should have called this thread "Return to the Rack"!
I completely agree with you that we're very new on a road to recovering. I still feel like everything is a bit tentative. Maybe after we have been working at this for a year, I'll feel more secure. For now, I'm not throwing caution to the wind.
This whole episode has rocked me to the core and has changed me. I would like to believe that if I try hard enough and and am determined, that things will work out. I used to believe that way. I have no control over what my mate does, however. It's gonna take awhile before I stop anticipating more bombs. For awhile, I will probably even be hitting the ground every time a car backfires......."INCOMING!!!!!!!"
Don't mean to sound dour. I think I'm being fairly realistic and not raising my expectations too high. If I am pleasently surprised--I'll be very glad. I think that's a better approach than expecting too much and getting disappointed repeatedly, ya know.
Well, goodnight everybody--thinking of all of you. I'm going to go sit in the hot tub WHOOO-HOOO!
