Not quite in midseason form...yet

[MadeToSucceed]

The letter was my DB coaches idea. I'm talking to her in the morning and like I said, I took those words verbatim from LMBT (Love Must Be Tough) so there's not much of "me" in it. The "one and only" part was from the book. All of it was really. I just changed the names. In my last call my DB coach Lenni suggested I write a letter and she too suggested it be short and concise...which I agree with. I'm definitely going to make it much shorter.

Again, no offense taken with regards to the flow because that really isn't "my letter." It's the one as an example in LMBT. I agree it didn't/doesn't flow too well. For me, it is to tell her I'm letting her go. That I'm no longer trying to hold her hostage and that I am accepting of her decision. Accepting, not agreeing with. I recognize the difference. I think CS helped me with that a few threads back. After talking with Lenni and modifying it I'll post what I'm thinking here and I suspect it to be much shorter and to the point as you said.

She called back this evening to say she was running around all day trying to get it taken care of and because of the situation, she could put part in today and part in tomorrow or just put all of it in tomorrow. I remained upbeat and told her it would be ok and she could just wait and do it all at once tomorrow. She asked if I was sure because she felt bad about my account being negative as a result of it. I just responded it would be fine and I'd handle it. I thanked her again and told her I hope she has a good night. She responded saying you too and that was that.

Not gonna lie...took EVERYTHING in me not to want to ask her how she's been, what she's been up to, etc. but I controlled that urge quickly. Her birthday is in a few days and I'm contemplating sending a quick text on that day and saying nothing more than "Happy Birthday W. You're starting to get up there huh? ;-) Have a great day." I know you'll probably give me 2x4s on this one...I guess I don't really see the downside to doing it. The one thing I know is that just because we had conversation today I can't get intoxicated by it and try to lead it into more convo. That's not the plan. Just a simple acknowledgement and then keep it moving is what I'm thinking. Our anniversary is a week after her bday so I'll completely ignore it. Going to talk to my DB coach about it too though and welcome your thoughts on it as well.

I'm going to catch up on some TV shows tonight probably and catch a late night workout too.
