My GAL and 180s were instrumental in allowing communication with H to start again. He was envious of my calm and insight. He wondered how I was happy and he wasn't. Then he began to comment that maybe it wasn't all my fault after all.
I took up long distance running (I hate running) and completed three 1/2 marathons since April. I learned to surf (kind of), went out with friends, took classes.
I stopped trying to control everything and let stuff go. Became grateful for everything I had and learned to live in the now.
GOOD stuff, right there! I feel like I'm finally at this spot where I am making more time for me and doing stuff I want to do ...and just starting to give up control of those things that I cannot control anyway! There is peace in that!
This is truly good advice....follow Kate's example!
