Pam -- Your post was EXACTLY what I needed to read this AM. It brought both smiles and tears (combined with AWE at your insights, lady!!!!).
Quote: Didn't you also say your H has a lot going on in school right now? So both of you are possibly under a lot of extra stress, and putting pressure on yourselves to work on the new R. I'm wondering if this is one of those things that are going to come on his timing when he gets to that comfort level versus your timing.
yes.yes.and yes.
Pressure on both of us....need to respect his timing. H met me for dinner last night and he told me he needed to have some "fun"...I asked what that meant and he said "another date with you!"...sounds like we really need some R&R this weekend!
Quote: What about do some extra exercise, eat some chocolate, go to a movie or the library to read some magazines, of course you could always go shopping but with the crowds that might not be a stress free choice! Be nice to Sage, she is dealing with a lot of stress right now and she is a pretty special lady!!
Oh, YES, Pam....thank you for reminding me that I NEED to not only be gentle with myself but GIVING too...I think a special treat for SAGE is in order...I love ALL of your suggestions, too!
Quote: Then when the extra stress drops off you see how you feel about things at a better time, when your mental energy isn't being pulled so many different directions.
Want to borrow my username...oh wise one???
Quote: Right now you don't need to be spending the mental energy on this one and if your mind is not quiet you cannot 'hear' what others are saying to you, or at least 'see' what they mean. I am betting you know where that line came from!!!!!
meditation rocks, no????
Quote: Sending you wishes for a wonderful, productive and peaceful day today!!!!!
I'm well on my way thanks to you, hon.
Positives for yesterday: 1. h met me for dinner and drinks after my haircut 2. h said "I love your hair" when he saw me! 3. h told me he needed to have some fun this weekend...another date with me! 4. I was the one to initiate the date yesterday...after he said "yes" h called me back and played me a funny song
