I'm just finishing Into Thin Air, never read it before, and I see a lot of useful lessons in it. One: don't get hooked on mountain climbing. lol
I feel like I'm at high altitude and I've got to have the will to keep walking no matter what, to survive, to accept the reality and make the best of it, stay positive and not allow myself to dwell on could have beens. It is up to me to get through and when I do, I'll see the world more clearly and truly appreciate what I have been given.
In other news, I decided to see if H's friend wants to meet up for coffee. I've held him at arms length or farther since H moved out of our house and into his, and now H has moved on to a rented room somewhere else, so I feel like I can clear the air. H's friend likes the drama of dysfunctional relationships and can be a busybody and I had no interest in allowing him to try to be a go-between between us, so I let him be just H's friend this past year. I'd like to tell him no hard feelings, I appreciate that he was being the best friend he knew how to be, and though I'm not interested in discussing H with him on an emotional level, I'd like to renew our acquaintanceship and go from there.
