Happy New Year!

I'm finally back at work, with access to a computer!

Things are going well with my Husband.

Issues keep popping up. But we deal with them in a more compassionate and kind way these days.


So, not sure if I mentioned it before...but my parents gave Husband a chess set. It's a little table specifically for the chess board.

We have it set up in the corner and we have an ongoing game. We aren't sitting down to play, but rather just moving a piece every now and then.

Now when we were doing it that way, I was kicking butt! But one day, we were both home...he kept moving a piece and I'd respond. Pretty soon he had me in check mate.

So, great insight!

I do much better at chess when I take the time to slow down and think things through. When I don't, I lose.

DBing and Chess are both about strategy...stuff I still need MORE practice in!

My new years resolution:

It is December 2004. I am at my ideal weight. My finances are organized and up to date. I am staying focused on my health, finances, and happiness. My clothes slide on my body as I walk and I feel svelte, strong, energetic, and competent. I have taken baby steps daily to get to this point. The more I do for myself, the more my cup overflows and everyone in my life is touched by the splash.

I value myself and therefore others value me. I have conquered the bad habit of making all the effort in my intimate relationshps. Now , those people with whom I have an intimate relationship, put in at least half of the effort needed to have a good relationship. And they do so gladly, knowing it is their choice.


Thank you all for being here for me. Knowing I have such wonderful friends to talk to really helps me stay the path.

Hugs all.
