The "giving myself an award" idea was suggested a while back when I first mentioned this award thing but I never did it. I was raised Catholic and you know... it was drilled into my head to not be vain! I really struggle with healthy self recognition. But, I promise you Gno.. I will do it today.
And, Hope... since you insist on seeing this....LOL.... I will post some of my achievements, positives here.
First, achievements in my M:
When I first started DBing, I set some goals as MWD suggest in DR. I have, for the most part, reached those goals! And, I guess I never really realized it! (duh!)
1. To be in the same bedroom by Christmas. This happened beginning of Nov. 2. Have more fun together. still working on this one, but it's coming.... need to set more specific goals with this one 3. more physical affection. no worries there.... my world is rockin and rollin on a regular basis... 4. spend more time together . check ... since A exposed and ended, we are together A LOT... most evenings, most weekends
Now, positives about me/ my own personal accomplishments:
I have set boundaries I never set before I stand up for myself like I never did before I have shown an inner strength and resiliency I didn't even know I had! I am capable of a level of forgiveness and love I didn't know I could be capable of I am a protective mamma... I fought with all my might for my family and the future of my kids I have become more open to change/new ideas/new perspectives
OK I gotta get back to work now, but I am going to keep thinking on this.
Thanks my friends, I really needed this.
BTW, Gno... checked out your thread... really made me think hard about the male perspective that might lead to being a WAH. That helped me a lot. I know that my H has had his own pain, and I probably have not yet acknowledged that to the extent that he needs me to. I need to work on that too.
Oh, and you are right. I AM the one with the most valuable prize. Thank you.
