I went to my meditation meet up group last week. It's been months since I've joined them. It was a nice change of pace.
I'm winding down on my online course, "Get Funny". Printed out all my lessons and assignments. Considering taking "Navigating Divorce" next. Will also be attending the next divorce support group meet-up.
I decorated the front yard for Halloween. Jokingly told W "I hope the squirrels know that indian corn is for decorating, not eating".
I worked at a charity event in my town on Saturday. Lots of goods and services were donated to people on low income. Food, clothes, medical services, haircuts, financial and legal advice, and much more. My contribution was working the bicycle repair booth. 7 hours of non-stop action! It was fun and fulfilling.
I also started looking for an individual therapist for myself. I know many folks here have felt it helps them work through their stuff, so I figure I should give it a whirl. My closest buddy also recommended it. He’s working on his masters degree in psychology, and has worked with troubled school kids for many years. I get to bounce my thoughts off him on occasion, all for the price of a meal. Afterwards we put on our sparring gear and pound each other!
W is considering signing up with the same health club GF uses. This is good, because after going all out with the exercising in the beginning of her crises, she has cut way down and does little now.
I continue to give W plenty of space and just do my own thing.
The vets tell us we will know for certain when we are done. While I'm sure this is true, I also have to believe that before we get to that point we will bounce back and forth plenty. Maybe like I've been doing?
Cadet says I hold the key. Hopefully a wise IC can help me better stabilize myself. Damn the person who invented MLC!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
