Take things one day at a time, let the little things (actions) speak really loudly to you , and propel you through the times when you feel like beating your head against a wall.


Agreed. I have really being taking it day by day, but I'd like to break that down into smaller pieces and enjoy the moments more.

That is where true gratitude really lies, and that is what this site is built on...


Definitely trying to do that and hope to continue as I learn more and my sitch gets better (fingers crossed). I also talked to my W about volunteering to help with retrouvaille. It wasn't the fix all for us, but I do think it's a great program and so many people face similar struggles as us. So far, she's been really open to the idea.

You have much to be proud of, regardless the outcome of your marriage. (Although you appear to be on the right track with that).


Thanks, and agreed.

In the book, A Journey Called You, the author says a couple of things about the "inner shift" that has stuck with me. She says, "Most people try to change their behavior. This may work for a while, but it is rarely sustainable. Change how you think, change how you think about yourself, and you easily change the results in your life."

This is the journey I've started, and will continue on.
