Saving my family - Part 13

[Scorp7]

That makes total sense 25years! My natural instinct is to fix things, if something is broken I have an overwhelming need to fix it. It's a big part of what I do in my career. When my marriage fell apart I HAD to fix it, immediately! That backfired in a big way, to say the least.

I'm learning, slowly, that less is more in some ways in this sitch. I love my time with my kids and feel like I'm the best dad they could ever have. My life is insanely busy and that can be overwhelming at times yet I'm learning to manage it and find some balance. I take time to stop and smell the roses so to speak. I'm taking better care of myself, getting exercise and I think I look pretty good these days, all of that has to count for a lot with my W. If not, I'm a lot better person now than I ever was before and I'd never want to go back to being the guy I was back then.

On my way in to the office the "old me" came up with a thought of serenading my W with my acoustic guitar the next time I saw her. After reading your post and then looking at things in the way I'm learning to, I think that would be a BAD idea at this point.

So, I'll stay patient. This weekend I'm going to hang out with some new friends I've met in the last while, do some yard work at the acreage and play some guitar and sing a bit. It will be good. My W and kids are off on their mini holiday and I'm sure they're having a blast.
