Wanted: Large dose of patience

[dolphin_05]

I like the analogy of the house GAG. This morning a girlfriend showed me some photos of her house renovation and I chuckled inwardly cos I had just read your house description late last night. Her photos showed a lot of mess, lots of obvious improvements to the house, esp the kitchen and living areas. She said they had to move out because it was a bigger job than they had originally envisaged.

Hmmm, seems to me that you are right GAG. This house renovation is all very messy, too. I can see the improvements but it's hard to see the overall picture. Like my friend, I need to keep taking photos along the way to see the improvements that are occurring slowly but surely.

H needs to feel comfortable that moving toward you is not going to cut him off from others (e.g. MIL and FIL).

Yesterday H sent me a humorous email. He also sent it to our children, his siblings and parents. I was not on the sent list so obviously sent to me as a BCC. I thought that was interesting and I thought about it again when I read this. Is H not yet comfortable letting his siblings see that he is in contact with me? He has sent me emails before that have also been sent to his parents and our kids but they know we are in contact. The siblings don't.

Keep your eyes on your higher power and listen to your inner voice.

trying to but must admit that I do get disheartened and wonder if I am reading things accurately.

I have had no real contact with H since dinner at his place. I messaged him to tell him of a change to D's swimming today. He replied in a very business like manner. I feel him keeping his distance now. Surely H is taking his parents to meet with ow today or tomorrow. He would have to do that to let them know all was well on that front.

This weekend is H's birthday. D invited H and his parents to go out to lunch Sunday. She wants me to go but I said I would only go if I was invited. I haven't been. I feel a shopping trip coming on!!
