I miss all of you so much!!!! Looks like work will not lwt up anytime soon. Hope you all are doing well today. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you Holdingon, Jackie and Lee for stopping by.
H- I'm glad you liked the devotional exerpt. It seemed pretty applicable to DB'ing in general. Keep hanging in there. You are doing a remarkable job - and handling it all with such grace. You are amazing.
Lee - It is hard to believe that things are going well here. I am continually amazed that even when there are rough spots - H is still here. Just have to keep steady and focused, and continue to work on the weak spots daily. I really appreciate you checking in. Hope you are doing well today.
Jackie - Thank you for stopping by. Things sound wonderful in your neck of the woods! I am so happy for you. ! I did not go on the business trip. It would have been the week after my FIL died, and I prayed about it and just didn't feel it was the right time to go. H said for me to go if I wanted to, so he was supportive, but I just felt like I was neede at home. It was the right decision - we were able to be with my MIL a good bit. There will be another chance to go. It would be great to go to a Flyfest! If I could just sprout a few feathers, it would be nice - oh well, just keep swimming.....
Things here are going well. We had a good weekend, and a day off together yesterday. Positives: 1. H and I keep laughing. 2. I lost my temper with the kids last night, and H didn't get angry with me. 3. Rough patch over the weekend. We talked it through calmly. 4. Fewer and fewer thoughts of OW.
Goals to keep myself vigilant: 1. Pay attention to my appearance - toenails painted, stand up straight 2. Work on rowing my own boat (stealing from Jackie ) - get back to my hobbies, spend time with friends 3. Listen without interrupting, validate 4. Be my H's girlfriend too - flirt, dress up, be spontaneous 5. Continue 180's - order something different to eat, wear something different, change a small behavior 6. Continue to pray daily - all day every day
Hang in there everyone. Thank you all for your support and encouragement, and for your examples of strength.
