Thanks for stopping by, Gardener. It's always nice to have some feedback along our journeys.

Along with the optimism since the big D filing, I'm going to add empowered to my short list. I'm no longer afraid of what I might say, or how to put it, or what STBX might think. It's wonderful to feel free to just be me, say what I think and just LIVE.

No word from STBX since filing. For someone that has moved ahead with an engagement, he isn't showing any proactivity with the paperwork. So, I text/email him occasionally for status... I'm just walking on, and getting stronger each day! Feels really good.
