OT - I am sitting here crying reading your sweet post. That was so spot on. It wasn't a lot of feeling sorry for myself, but more feeling the past hurt like it was fresh. You are right, there is a need to feel compassion for ourselves without it turning into self-pity.

((((((((((BBJ))))))))))))))))))))) - No crying today right? Only joy and happiness allowed this week!

Jeff, that is so interesting that your xw is emotional. In descriptions of her she has always seemed like a completely cold, unemotional person. It's unfortunate the kids get the brunt of it but wonderful that she doesn't have you to take it out on anymore.

I missed the early service at church today and I have so much to do this afternoon that I guess I'm missing the late service too. This Christmas candy isn't going to make itself. Marc was supposed to help me yesterday and, as usual, found a way to not be here when I needed him to be. Like I've said before, I find it difficult to tell him he can't go to a friend's house since he doesn't get invited that often.

*sigh* - he already had plans for today so he won't be here to help again. I could really use a candy stirrer.....any volunteers?
