I really have no fear about 'what-if he changes his mind?' What I've gained in this process is confidence in me. If he does change his mind, I'm sure it would be unpleasant but I'll be fine. I can be on my own and be OK, even better than OK.

I strive to be mindful and in the moment. I only have this day, this hour, this moment to deal with.



Good for you. I try to be in the moment lately but it slips away from me, argh. Some work to do....

I think the best thing for me as well was the realization that control really was an illusion and yes, I could be just fine on my own.
