Hey Cadet, you live two hours from me??? Cool! Thanks for the good wishes.
Snodderly, thank you always for your kind words. I promise to take each day as it comes.
I know my friend sees what is going on in my life. I would just never want to hurt his feelings in any way. I have seen it happen on here and in real life and so I take great care to be honest and open.
It really is very early into whatever this is. I am just blessed to have another friend in my life right now.
As far as my xh, I really just try to be true to myself and I try not to react as it serves no real purpose. Some times I can manage it, sometimes not, but, always that is the goal.
I do have a lot on my plate. I do get overwhelmed at times. It is then that I drop to my knees. Although doing that takes some effort and persistence on my part as my legs have a mind of their own.
