Living the ocean dream...

[Underdog]

Myrrh--I didn't have enough time to post to you before my next round of meetings (to reconvene shortly again). I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're finding answers to your questions here on the BB.

It has been a godsend for me as well...

I thought that by lurking and reading, I'd pick up things from all of the wonderful people here who post. Well, I did. However, my learning curve improved 110% when I actually started getting feedback from all the wise and wonderful people who post here.

I feel supremely blessed by this twist of fate.

I know it sounds weird to others--believe me, I had more than a few people ask me if I was scared of putting faces to the names who post (and more than a few of those people wondered if I am crazy)? The answer is obviously no. And if I'm crazy, at least I know that the rest of you are crazy with me!

One of the topics for negotiating with Mr. Wonderful's return home will be allowing me my time here. I realize that I will undoubtedly wean myself off of my own thread, but recognize that until I decide to leave, this BB is important to me in healing for the indefinite future.

Any digressions or diversions you post here are more than welcome. I'm glad that all this food for thought is helping.

If it's any consolation, when Mer and I were on IM chat last night, she commented right off the bat, "My brain hurts, why does my thread have to be so good lately?"

Yes, I understand what she meant. Yesterday's dialogue on her thread was VERY thought provoking and the opportunity to refocus on goals we had made before.

And a means to put things in perspective--so that we continue to recognize progress where it's made and to identify the behaviors we're progressing in and highlight the ones that are work in progress. A report card.

I'm very grateful for the lessons I learn here. And grateful for all of you who travel this road with me.

(I'm getting pretty good at those lately!)
