Hey Groov,

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the holiday with your kids.

I have been meaning to ask you, have you read any of the posts under the section that says "another divorce busted"? The testimonies of restored relationships?

I read this whenever I am discouraged, because many people say that they had little to no hope at one point. Not saying that is you (you are much more positive than that) but I take comfort in knowing that sometimes when things look bad, or I am in a tough place, there are people who have come out better than they were before and almost every one says that patience was key. You seem to be more patient than I! So keep praying, and doing what you are doing.

As far as the LR letter, if you felt it was the right time, then it was. Keeping your expectations low is right on. While you are waiting patiently without expectations, think about how you are nurturing yourself. When you take your kids back on Sunday, what will you do for yourself? Treat yourself to something special.

If this was all over(regardless of outcome), what would you do to "pamper" yourself? What are your interests and/or hobbies?

I hope you are already doing things for yourself that make you feel good...but if not, go ahead. Splurge on something that is solely for you.
