It was in May 2011.

Yeah, I'm sure it's not going to be a walk in the park but let's face it, where I am now isn't either so I need to give myself a sense of purpose. This plan helps me regain some self respect. I feel like Stockdale in his POW camp (no offence meant to any vets - I do realise this is very different). I'm confident and determined to see this through, now all I need is "the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of my current reality, whatever they might be". I think I can get that through my meditation, PMA and GAL.

15. An other part of my plan is to go on living the best way I can. ... the lease on my new house is for 2 years and the life I'm planning for myself could easily keep me here for that long so why not? 2 years of me living a good life with my D8, having lots of fun and doing lots of exciting, interesting things ...Also, in 2 years of living a good life, it might not matter so much whether or not my W returns home

YOUR WORDS ^^^

Your working here Arsene.... And doing a nice job.

Keep it up and hang in there.

Denver


Thanks Denver. I think I'm getting there slowly. It helps to have this kind of support from all of you. I feel great and I have for the last few days. It feels like I've turned a page with this plan of action. You're the man Denver!
