Hi everybody! Previous thread

I've liked this song ever since Basia first released it, but the words never meant anyhing to me... until now.

It's hard for me to stop my heart
Love never knows when the time is right
I don't want to hurt anybody
But can't help lovin' you

I never felt like this before
I know this is special worth waiting for
Let life takes it course
That's the only thing for us to do

We've got time and baby there's no rush
Gonna be a better day for us
Hang on and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as new

Time and tide
Nothin' and no one can stop us now
For better, for worse
This time I'm sure
It's gonna last... gonna last forever!


Utube it to hear the rest, it's a great song.

I'm hoping to be able to run another session of my TKD class at work real soon.

My recent (and first) divorce support meetup has helped me to accept my sitch for what it is... not nearly as bad as most folks who ARE in the D process.

I know I've posted all my positives before, (we all have plenty) and then I still end up growing weary of our ongoing loveless marriage. I will again I'm sure. But hey, feelings come and go. If we don't like one of them we can acknowledge it and wait for the next one to come along. Live in the moment. Look for positives in everything. Enjoy every day to the best of our ability no matter what happens. It really is our choice how we respond to the trials we are all facing.

Recent positives:

My wife has decided to do a makeover on her bedroom. New everything. She is very excited about this, and it's given her a spring in her step. I'm standing back and allowing her to do it on her own, as this how she wants to do it. I'd even say it's how she NEEDS to do it.

She's also checked out and downloaded a book by Pema Chodron titled "Don't Bite the Hook". It draws on Buddhist teachings, and topics include:

Stay centered in the midst of difficulty
Improve stressful relationships
Step out of the downward spiral of self-hatred
Awaken compassion for ourselves and others

So I figure this'll hold me for at least a few weeks... haha. Stay tuned for more MLC fun!


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
