Dusk at Dawn.

That was a nice poem Puppy.

Thank you for sharing that.

Todays song is off london calling Playing it in the background while I GAL a kitchen floor... Or is that 180 the floor. From dirty to clean.

The Clash - I'm not down

If it's true, a rich man leads a sad life
That's what they from day to day
Then what do all the poor do with their lives?
On Judgment Day, have nothing to say

I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down

On my own, I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets
When my nerves were pumping and I
Fought my fear in, I did not run
I was not done

I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down

And I have lived that kind of day
When none of your sorrows will go away
It goes down and down and hit the floor
Down and down and down some more depression

But I now there'll be some way
When I can swing everything back my way
Like skyscrapers rising up
Floor by floor, I'm not giving up

So you rock around and think that you're the toughest
In the world, the whole wide world
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest
You ain't been there

I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down

I'm not down, no I'm not down
No I'm not down, no I'm not down
No I'm not down, no I'm not down
No I'm not down, I'm not down

The Clash - Train in Vain
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something, I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things, you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay

But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

You must explain, why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Well I absolutely enjoyed no girls weekend. And won 3 prizes at the hockey game. Just a nice and relaxing weekend. Need to get back to the running. Hopefully leg is ok tonight after hockey.

Ended not so nice though. Niece and nephew's grandfather passed away. So I will see what I can do to help my brother in-law and sister in-law through this difficult time. I did not know him very well.

[jasper67]

Sorry to hear about the loss, you are a great man and I know that BIL and SIL will appreciate your support.

Get back to the running!!!

Thanks for checking in on me over the weekend.

[mindfull]

Hey, Cutter - Think I've told you this before, probably mutliple times, you're such a good soul.

Now get out there and run, lazy butt!

[talia]

Cutter,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. YOU are an amazing man! You IL's are lucky to have you in their lives.


Quick Hijack... PUPPY... if you are inclined drop by my sitch.
Thanks!!

Ditto on the last three posts.

Its disturbing too me how similar death is to divorce.

Cutter, your spouse must be blind. Seriously, and that may be in the literal or at least a mental sense.

Don't mean to put her down mind you. She may be going through a lot of pain just like my STBX is probably going through.

Started another thread about this and I am having more empathy for the WAW from what I learned about it.

Cutter, sorry to hear of your loss. It is awesome that you have maintained relationships with your IL family and now you can support them during this tragic event as well.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your testosterone filled weekend, though! LOL

Ladybug is not blind. She just have a different view or perspective now. I saw that pain in her eyes a few weeks ago. It hurt to not be able to help. I have talked to some peers in the real world who are 10 to 20 years out on this stuff. And they say it still hurts all those years later to see someone you loved very much carrying hurt. And you can/should not do anything about it as it was the path they decided to follow.

Empathy is on the path to forgiveness. You may not be able to offer it to your spouse. But at least you need to work towards offering it for yourself. I do not think I will fully empathize with the concept of deliberately choosing the path of hurting someone on purpose. But, at least I can forgive this choice. It does take time. And there is a required amount of recycling. But it is achievable if you make it a goal in all this life altering event. Look around in the real world. I am sure you will meet many WAS's Perhaps some could use the perspective of the LBS.
