Mach - Great post and thanks for the insights. The golf analogy really worked for me. A couple months back I read a golf book 'Golf is not a game of perfect' and the point of the book was to eliminate the negative thoughts. Funny I could apply it to my golf game but never thought about it in my own life/ M. My fear of failing the M drove me to do things I never imagined doing. Gives me a lot to think about. I'll check the 360 later today.

Labug - This process has made me realize just how many layers of "bad" I really had to work on. Before BD I thought I was Super-man, then I thought I just had some issues, now I see lots of room for improvement with list growing daily. You would think it would be depressing not thinking I was great anymore but it's enlightening and exciting. BTW - I liked myself in mirror again today wink

PON - realistically you guys are my support system. My church campus director has even recently flipped and told me maybe I should consider moving. GALing at night usually involves me reading, playing video game or guitar, workout if didn't do earlier in day, or watching a movie. Not real exciting but haven't done much of those for last several years because W didn't like them. We'd just watch sitcoms and most of those bore me to death. Guitar is new hobby and loving it. Just finishing up 1st song (lyrics have a very BD feel, sounds country).


Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are

Turn your trials into your testimonies

Don't believe everything you think

Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
