Hey fud! Steal away ... when it comes to thanking I try to offer a sincere thanks when he does something - even the stuff he should be doing! - just to let him know that I see and appreciate what he does. Mars/Venus talks about men wanting to feel appreciated and I know in our sitch it's something I did not verbalize enough (at least to him, ask others and I was constantly bragging about how good he was to help out! go figure!). And you know ... I intend to be a work in progress the rest of the days of my life ...

Hi BeingMe ... thanks for following along! Nice to see another Canadian (right PG?!). Thanks for the compliment re my writing ... it's something I've discovered since the bomb. In the early days I was writing to H every day via email to tell him how I felt and what kind of man I thought he was (typical blah, blah, blah). After I realized it was pressure and stopped we talked about it one night and he told me I wrote beautifully. I like to think that although I'm not writing them to him anymore that those words may sink in someday. Maybe. Maybe not.

As a side note, my IC thinks I should write a book on my family and the turmoil/hell we've been through in the last year+ ... I don't know that I'm ready for that - or how to do it without exposing my family and their private journeys ... still, nice to think I could.

My 'Do more of what works' list is what I could come up with in a few minutes of thinking about the last few weeks. Was great for my PMA to focus on the positives ...

Peace
PEI
