Hey HWA and TVS! So good to hear from you. I'm never far away, I just don't post a lot because you guys are getting great advice anyways. I'm always keeping up with your posts.

TVS I read a post of URWs about FB a/c. I'm going to try and track you down there. HWA you have grown so much I know you are going to get through this and be OK one way or the other.

On a personal note, my R is going well with H. Although he has chosen not to talk about the past, and sometimes I still feel a little short changed because of that, overall I know he is doing the best he can. I have noticed a shift in his attitude because he is responding to my changes in a more positive way. We are going on a trip at the beginning of Nov, and I have thought about raising things with him then, depending on how we go. On the other hand maybe is best left alone. I'll see how it turns out.

Presently, I am in training for Dragon Boating Qld State team, so have been doing plenty of GAL and making lots of new friends. H is still coming to terms with a new job after 27 years at the other. He lacks a little confidence, but is doing well. Geeze 12 months ago I had reconnected with H, but our job situations were concerning. If it hadn't been for my new attitude to life, I don't think I would have come of it as well as I did. As well, I was also able to stick with H and support him through some really tough changes. Am feeling proud of myself.

So TVS yes I am happy because that is what I chose to be. Realising its not up to anyone else but me to achieve that. Even at 56 its never too late to learn something.

Keep well, and keep in touch dear friends. xx
