Still in the marathon - did I miss a turn?

I know it's redundant but you really are the #1 GAL'er/DB'er I know. You're doing so much right...continue to go down that path.

Thanks for that, MTS.

With respect to your D list...it's funny because I can see what you're doing but I also know that's EXACTLY how I think. Basically, we want to be able to convey how wrong it is for US, the LBS.

The fact of the matter is our WAW's don't CARE how it is for us...at least right now. So every time we talk about how it's impacting us it feeds their rationalization of us being selfish, etc.

I think I return to this thought pattern from time to time. I get this nagging desire to take a firm stance, draw a line in the sand for my M. I think this list is a reflection of that. But you're exactly on the money. WAS's don't really care what we think. I think some of it, too, is in preparation for her getting any D paperwork to me. I think I just want to make it very clear I'm not just laying down for my M and for my family.

Your M list is great. Stick with the stuff you can change and stuff you know is about YOU.

Thanks for that.

I think I just needed to get some thoughts down. I'm getting some very good feedback.

The main message still seems to be stay the course. I think I'm very similar to everyone else - I get a little impatient sometimes and want to force something to happen.

Thanks for the sharing the song, too. Very, very good message.
