Quote:

Seriously, I made a commitment to myself early on that I would not "survive", but would keep using my experience as best I could to grow, learn and become stronger.

I figured this was the best way to improve my relationship with ME and also with my H.

So, I keep a list of things I have accomplished and ways I have grown since my S. This motivates me a good deal because I feel like I have made progress, tackled fears, accomplished things, etc.





Wonder - I LOVED this. It gave me a lift out of my semi-melancholy, because my thoughts are too H-centered today. It reminded me that that is my goal, too! And I am going to start a separate journal that just lists positive experiences or ways I have grown through this sitch.
Thank you for inspiring me.

(Have you ever wondered whether on some level we bring these situations into our lives because some part of us realizes we need to grow, and only something drastic could force it? This is something I ponder sometimes).

Anyway, thinking of you often. {{{{{{{{{{Wonder}}}}}}}}}}
