If I were to ask you to walk from NYC to LA, each of you would probably tell me to F off. An I would agree with you.
If I were to promise each of you a better, restored marriage when you got to LA, every one of you would sign up for that walk....
Right ???
How many would make it ???
And if I told you that there was only a small chance, that if you made the walk , that you would reap the benefits of a better marriage...
How many then ???
How many have what is inside, to actually SEE if they could make it, on miniscule chances ???
If there was a one in ten chance, would you take it ?
If there was a one in a thousand chance, would you take it ?
Would you burn everything you had, to be the one in that equation ?
For most people, they would focus on the destination, and feel failure at almost every step. Feeling that failure would lead them to drop out of the journey.
If you look down the road, you will fail yourself.....
However, if you were to look at your feet, and think about one step at a time, instead of the destination, how many could go much farther than what you think you can ???
This journey the LBS is on, is much similar. We have an unknown destination, that MAY lead us back to our spouse, it may not. The road isn't always clear, and the markers are non-existent.
It is our faith that leads us daily, sometimes hourly, sometimes by the minute......
What we focus on, is where our mind goes.
Are you looking at LA ???
Or are you looking at your feet in Jersey ???

Monkster - you need to go to Purg's thread "If you like Pina Colada's" and find the link there! Trust me on this one!
BTW, Monkchip - I am walking to LA from Jersey just like you are. I started the journey a year ago and its been a ballbuster the whole way. Nonetheless, its the best thing I've ever done for myself and even my W.
