i'm surprised that he wouldn't just tell me, especially since we talk about the house frequently and also about how they will be living there come the autumn - in fact it just came up yesterday.

I think of our H's as being similar...so I wonder if he too has ever felt like a failure around you in any way and maybe didn't want to admit his shortcomings either to not have the house ready in time or that he didn't plan correctly....no one wants to move back in their parents!

have changed so much that i don't recognize my own reflection. i walked in and told mil about it and she gave me this gentle smile and said, yes, every time i see you it's as if you transformed some more. i was so pleased:)

then soon after, driving the boys back to my place - a thought popped into my head - oh my gosh - i'm not the person h left 10 months ago. that means i don't have to keep thinking and feeling what i did before.

that i am a stranger to h in some ways. i know the essence of me is still present, but it's being manifested in a completely different way now -one i haven't yet become accustomed to...

This makes me GRIN not just smile! I felt the same way on Friday. I was wearing a new outfit I'd bought because none of my old clothes fit, And I just thought who is this confident, professional, attractive woman?
Use that feeling to propel you into making your insides match your outsides!
