Happy Little Friday to all my fellow DBer’s,

Let this be the day that you can say to yourself “Life is Good!!” today is going to be a good day!!!

Tonight I will definitely be on the patio, and I think margaritas will be the beverage of choice and I will be doing a little shrimp on the grill.

I am going to mix it up on the music tonight, little bit of the Boss, Tom Petty, Melloncamp, Fogarty & CCR, Allmon Brothers, Marshall Tucker and some others. Should be a good relaxing time.

I have much to celebrate, my D13 is rebuilding her relationship with my W and that just takes a weight off of me. It actually fills my heart with joy that my D13 is talking with my W. Lots of positive things going on there, my daughter is still vacillating between loving her mom and hating her, wanting us to reconcile and wanting us to divorce, she’s 13 so I just let her go where the wind blows her at that moment, very similar to my W. LOL

The Biggest reason to celebrate is today is the ONE year anniversary of the Bomb. 1 year ago, sitting in the same chair I am sitting in right now my W told me she was having an affair and that it had gone PA.

Reason to celebrate????

Yes

That day was the beginning of me finally growing up. I am not saying I am finished growing and I never will, however I am no longer a child.

It took another 6-7 months before I finally let go of the child in me but I did. I can laugh about it now and I don’t mind telling people that I finally grew up at the age of 42.

I think back to the way I acted, my thoughts and emotions, the way I treated my W and children. That man/child is gone forever and now I am a fully grown, emotionally and spiritually as a person who is in touch with his feelings and is not afraid to experience those feelings but man enough to not let those feelings rule me.

I told my W back in February, “I don’t want to do this again, but this is the best thing that has happened to me in my entire life.” I truly believe that.

I mark today not as the day my marriage fell apart but the day I started a journey that I hope never ends.

Happy Little Friday,

Cheers
