Stitching together a new quilt

[FindingMyVoice]

Love your new handle by the way, it is very becoming of you

Thanks 12! And hi! How nice of you to stop by - great to hear from you!

I hope you are still playing your guitar.

I am! Still really enjoying it too. Are you as well - were you able to get that acoustic you'd had your eye on?

Yesterday was my one year "bombiversary" (I think Mindful coined that one and I love it!). I am much more detached and have really made progress on getting my self-esteem back since our failed MC session in March.

Love that too. And so happy to hear you're finding your self-esteem again. Have you been able to expand your circle of friends and/or reconnect with old acquaintances? I remember you and I were both in the same boat because of moving to a new, larger centre.

I am getting tired of the limbo though after a year of this. The more my self-esteem creeps back, the less tolerance I have with no intimacy in my M.

Yes, although the ability to relax and enjoy some friendly time together is always good, the continued lack of intimacy is definitely a warning sign that issues still need to be addressed when you're ready to. I'm sorry to hear that's still missing for you guys. I should ask though - when you say 'no intimacy', what does that mean to you? Are you talking emotional or physical? Or both? What's missing?

I am riding my bike like crazy and lifting more weights than I ever have in my life. I am on track to be in better shape at 41 than I have in my whole life so I guess that is a good thing!

Good for you! And turning a few heads is always a good thing for the self-esteem!

Keep up the good work in your sitch and keep us updated on the progress with you and H.

Thanks again 12, hope to hear back from you again soon. Take care. PS my car is still lookin' spiffy.
