H's MLC - finding compassion and forgiveness

[Walking]

The symbolism of teeth falling out is really interesting too.

Our teeth fall out and regrow as we move from infancy to childhood. The same symbolism applies to our adult (and cosmetic) teeth.

You are both going through a period of transition. That's really powerful.

Thank you SA, Kissak, Being & Walking....yes I find it really strange with the teeth....Walking very interesting point of view....you may be onto something there

Journaling - H made an appointment to go with D to have something installed in her car few days ago....well he forgot and missed the appointment and had to reschedule for today...also invited D & Her BF to his place to watch a movie tonight....apparently told D OW is not going to be there...but D didn't want to go anyway...

OW's H told me that OW is spending lots of time without H trying to reestablish her friendships in this town....he finds it strange that she comes here for 2 weeks to spend time with her lover and then does things without him....even rented a car so she can be independent...

I must say that I'm exhausted....I filled my social calendar so much this Holiday Season that today was my first quiet day of doing nothing....just resting watching movies....wow how I needed that....I guess my age is catching up with me lol....can't party as I used to....but still have a busy lineup for the rest of the week....Getting together with OW's H tomorrow, going to see a ballet with a male friend, Having more friends over at my house....haven't decided on New Year's eve yet....I'm invited to a party but don't feel like driving all the way downtown and especially driving back....so will probably spend it with a friend at my house....

I feel like I'm in the eye of a storm....all quiet now...but I know that starting next week it will be back to reality....lawyers, job hunting, business stress....trying not to think about it yet...

Hope everyone is making the best of the Holiday season as well

Mila,

I completely understand about burning the candle at both ends when you are 50 in the middle! Enjoy the eye of the storm for a few days. I, on the other hand, am looking forward to putting the 'fantasy' of the holidays behind and getting on with life, whatever that may hold.

Take the quiet time to put the reality into a new perspective. What it may, could, would, can hold for you. Do something totally old school and make a list of what you wish to achieve for yourself in the New Year. Mine is in my mind, but it's there.

Have a restful week. We'll both be needing Geritol with a nipple on the bottle! LOL

[goodattitudegirl]

Mila,

Happy New Year to you and yours!!!!!!! I'm VERY impressed at how much stamina you have girl! What is your secret???????? Partying til 2AM????? Maybe you wore H out......that's why his brain short-circuited?????

We'll both be needing Geritol with a nipple on the bottle!

I laughed out loud when I read this ^^^^^^ ! Very funny Punkin! I haven't thought about Geritol in years (my mother used to take this-----it smelled horrible!) This is quite the mental image.

OW's H told me that OW.... comes here for 2 weeks to spend time with her lover and then does things without him....even rented a car so she can be independent...

VERY strange. Sounds like the infatuation stage is wearing off. Otherwise they wouldn't want to spend that much time apart.

Enjoy the eye of the hurricane while it lasts. 2011 may bring some challenges your way, but you will continue to handle them with the grace and class we have all come to admire.

Best wishes to you and yours for peace and prosperity in 2011!

[Mila]

Happy New Year to all of my DB friends

Thank you Punkin, GAG, CW & SA...you guys are awesome and I'm sending you tons of New Years hugs

We'll both be needing Geritol with a nipple on the bottle!

you crack me up Punkin LMAO

I'm VERY impressed at how much stamina you have girl! What is your secret???????? Partying til 2AM????? grin Maybe you wore H out......that's why his brain short-circuited?????

GAG - I think that I'm wearing myself out LOL....trying to GAL and forget about H's short-circuited brain...

Had a nice New Years eve with my GF at my place....only stayed up until 2am....chatting, eating and drinking champagne...glad that we didn't go to that party downtown...in the morning we went for a great power walk on the beach and watched "Polar Bear" swim....tons of crazy people in swimsuits dipping in freezing ocean...

Oh yes H texted me at midnight wishing me Happy New Year....while at some party with OW....I didn't reply

Had a date last night...diner and a movie...I see this guy just as a friend but it was nice to go out with a guy...

((((hugs to all))))

[AntoniaB]

Mila you sound terrific! Your NYE sounded like mine although the next day I was a vegetable and not as active as you!

I'm glad you had a date/no-date. I'd love to do that sort of thing myself but don't know any unattached guys except one and he refuses to do dinner or anything with a woman unless he sleeps with them (friends with benefits). Weird.

I feel a bit worn out too--I think today I'm not getting out of pj's. I think it's just the stress of the holidays backing up.

But I'm glad to hear things sound good for you, you sound positive.

[punkin]

Mila,

Don't dismiss the male friend just yet. Still waters run deep.

Antonia, anyone who won't take you to dinner without sleeping with you doesn't deserve your friendship, or anything else.

We are now facing the dog days of Winter; of course they are all dog days in my book. The looming horror of Valentine's Day. Although my H's idea of a romantic gesture was . . . . Oh Hell, I don't think he could even handle a romantic gesture.

Our hearts may falter, but our resolve will stay strong. Next year Mila, I want you to tell me how YOU enjoyed the Polar Bear Swim. I just want to see it while not in a bear hug with the toilet!

I sound like I'm running for election, don't I -- minus the toilet thing.

Short of it is, Mila - we've all traveled a long hard road, and although this is just a date on a calender, I truly believe it will be a turning point for us all. You have accomplished some incredibly difficult things with your H and business. You will continue to do so.

Oh, and the New Year's Text from H while on a date with OW. Funny where his mind was, isn't it? ((HUGS))

[BeingMe]

Hi Mila! Glad you're moving on, and enjoying your life. If you're ever on this side of the strait, give us a shout and we can go for coffee or a cosmo. I'll be back mid-March after the birth of yet another grand-child (Nr. 6) ... OMG, I'm too young for this.
