We all need strength to go on during this journey.
I have found advice, wisdom, and power in lots of places.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Continuing from my last thread. Christmas 2013 is behind me now and I have learned even more about myself, my sitch, and my own personal strength. Thanks to the advice, wisdom, and guidance of wonderful people in this community, I had a great holiday with my sons.
New traditions were created: Caroling to nursing home and shut ins, baking cookies for my family, Christmas Eve candlelight service, buying gifts for needy children from our Angel Tree.
New realizations were made: W is falling completely apart emotionally, mentally, and physically. It is painful to watch. I will be OK no matter what happens. My sons will be OK if I am the only parent here and being responsible. I am a good man. I enjoy talking to people, being open and friendly. Other people really notice and like the new me.
Things to work on for 2014: Keep detaching. Stop watching W's actions. Spend that emotional energy on myself and my boys. Keep working hard at digging my own weeds. Stop being so hard on myself. Find out how to really love. Laugh and enjoy little pleasures.
