L,
There is so much to learn so fast, and so much to absorb that is painful. You seem so eager to learn it and accomplish it and I applaud that. Just take care of You, because sometimes by trying to absorb too much too fast, we set ourselves up for more hurt, and if there is something here that we don't need, it's us hurting ourselves.

I also like what you said about thinking in terms of Happy Life over Happy Marriage. Because win, lose or draw, we each owe it to ourselves to create as Happy a Life as Possible.
