Sup and MrsD: thanks for the kind words. Im glad you both think we'll make it because i'll be honest today's been a little tough. I keep thinking that abscence can make the heart grow fonder, but it can also make you forget about things as well. Im trying to have a good day and really can' worry about whether she's thinking of me or not...
You're going to have tough days Brothers & Sisters! God never promised to have you go through no pain!! But he did promise that you would come out Un-Stained!!
Here is food for thought & a for sure truth: Count the number of times a day you think about your Prodigal. Now know that this is the exact amount of times each day that your Prodigal is thinking about you!
Only difference is: They have already perfected the DBing techniques & truly know how to detach without wearing their emotions on their sleeves!
Like a said in a previous post, another thing that has helped me at times is: I pull my pants & underwear off before I go shopping at Wal-Mart. It's both refreshing & stress-free to have the wind breeze over you butt while you shop for items you need for the house. Funny thing is, that nobody ever seems to mind.
I wouldn't suggest trying this at a Target or something though, cause you might not get the same response from the clientele that shops there.
