Not quite in midseason form...yet

[MadeToSucceed]

My Bible Study helped a ton yesterday. It was like the feelings subsided almost instantly. I ended up going back to work for a few hours. I also had a long conversation with one of my best friends. He and I have been at odds a bit over the past few months and there's been an unusual amount of tension between us. We were able to talk it out and squash it which was a weight off of both of our shoulders.

I went back to my church last night for the opening night of a revival/church conference. There were musicians that performed and even a dance group so it was a good night of getting to worship.

When I got out of church one of the women in our wedding had sent me a text message asking why does she always have to check on me sarcastically. I ended up calling her and she asked how I was doing. Told her I was doing well. She said my W mentioned we'd interacted on our anniversary and I told that we in fact had. She said that my W admitted to her that it was much tougher than she expected that it would be. She also said she told my W that she thinks we should talk at some point before mediation and that she advised my W to try to search within herself as to what she wanted to "do" and make sure it was a decision not influenced by anyone else.

The mutual friend was basically just saying that she's proud of me for my growth (I mainly talked to her about my networking and career opportunities rather than my W and our sitch). She even told me she noticed my picture on fb (she being the friend, not necessarily my W) and that I looked really good. LOL.

All in all, I think it felt good to know that someone...probably multiple someones...is/are supportive of the way I'm choosing to handle things.

I just came back from a luncheon at work. I'll get to pick up some of my altered clothes today as well so I'm anxious about that. In about 45 minutes I'll get to meet with my pastor so I'm looking forward to talking with him. I was also invited by the president of my university's Alumni Association to his home for their 14th annual pre game event they have for the big game that is taking place this weekend. I'll go there straight from meeting with my pastor. I won't get to go to the game itself since I'll be out of town at my friend's wedding this weekend but this is another great networking opportunity for me. Then I have to pick up my tux for the wedding and finally make my way to campus for class this evening. I may meet up with some friends that are in town this evening after class for a late happy hour and to top it all off, I was invited to ANOTHER private university event tomorrow downtown where the president of my alma mater as well as several other university officials, corporate sponsors, former coaches, etc. will be in attendance. It's an event that's been going on for 30+ years so I'm looking forward to attending it right before I hit the road.

Call it extreme and compressed GAL'ing if you will!
