It's been quite a while since I posted anything here. There are only a couple of my former friends still posting, wii, Gypsy, SunFun......
I just celebrated my first anniversary with my new wife (Gym Woman) for you DB Archaeologists. Things could not be better. For those of you still spinning, reeling, wringing your hands: I could not have been more distraught than a mere 5 or 6 years ago on this site: posting every 10 minutes, seeing every post as the next lifeline to get me through the next hour, and yes...the darkest despair that you can imagine. As you older posters may remember...I tried to take a "dirt nap" by prescription medication. I don't think there was a lower low possible. Most of you recognize that awful cavern, but I can assure you, I was WRECKED. BUT...if you can hold on....if you can get that next ten minutes....slowly crawl out of that abyss, it WILL get better. My good fortune may be an exception, but it CAN and DOES happen.
For all the changes we try to make in ourselves, because we have been told by our former spouses "we are too much this...we aren't enough of that....you know what? SOMETIMES it's NOT you! With a few minor tweaks in my behaviors, my new wife thinks I'm the greatest guy around. I always thought I was a pretty decent person, but when you get figuratively kicked in the head every day, you start to believe some of the hype thrown out there by an ex-spouse.
They never seem to find that bright elusive butterfly of happiness that they are chasing...cause you know what? Sometimes, maybe it IS them......
To all my old friends: You are some great people. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope life gets much better for all of you!
