Hi GIMA,

My self-esteem is pretty battered. Db'd like a mofo, got stronger in many ways, and did hope I'd get a second chance. I don't. So, it rocked me hard. My confidence has taken a big hit...I want to get back up and push on.

-I'm in really good shape now (riding has been a Godsend for me)
-I take pride in how I look now more than ever
-tell me about this book please
-I'm better with my little kids now more than ever
-never did this while I was married. Now that she's divorcing me...well, I've been out of the game for a long time
-I've been doing this and it makes me feel good
-I've been doing this too, again, it makes me feel good
-I enjoy playing with the kids and their friends too
-this is something that's easier said than done, but it's something I have to start doing more of...just don't know how
-see above
-hard for me, right now, to wrap my head around this; I know there are a lot of nice looking women out there...
-it's like battlefield promises and prayers, and I'm more in touch with my spirituality too

I don't feel like my life is over, but it's sure F'd up right now. We're getting divorced, and it doesn't feel it'll be fine on down the line.
