Good Morning,

Not much happening. Friday night we went out to eat, Saturday H ended up having to work. Since I'm behind at work I also went in for a few hours.

H and SS went to a fishing show Saturday afternoon. Three of my four brothers were there with two of my nephews. H said he was looking at some boats and they snuck up behind him and approached H first! I think this made my H feel good as he hasn't really talked to any of them since a year ago! H thinks they don't "like" him anymore.

The thing is my family is soooo forgiving, we are all alike, we don't hold grudges, we get over things and we try not to take life too seriously. Life's too short, laugh a lot. I KNOW they didn't like that H took up with an OW and moved out on us, but I think they respected the fact that it is MY life.

We watched a movie last night and H, SS and S4 went ice fishing bright and early this morning (no room in the truck for me). S4 is such a chatterbox, he's a godsend! For all his wildness he has this loving, huggging personality that I hope he never loses. S4 will say to me "mom I have to give you something" and I'll say "what?" and he'll come over and say "this" give me a great big hug and,kiss and an I Love You!

I see good thing happening in my H's life, but I don't know if he sees them the same way a I do. H likes to claim that he doesn't have any friends here, but he has lots of friends. The jobsite where my H is at now, it's huge, it'll be a five year job if not longer. And all of his "work buddies" will be at the same jobsite. The guys he's hunted with, fished with and spent time with and yes they're all drinkers...argghhh. Construction pays well around here, but I don't know how fulfilling it is. Usually everybody's spread out at different jobsites, now they will all be together. So hopefully H will be able to find a little more happiness with his job. H likes to keep busy and he is busy. If he's not busy H has too much time to think!!

I've been reading the "Power of a Praying Wife" and finding lots of good things in there. Even in THIS book it talks about and the importance of to a man and the way he feels and the importance in marriage! I do notice that after a night of H is more caring, thoughtful and loving. This is his #1 LL.

I am praying for my H and for us in a way I never thought possible. I believe anything can happen with prayer and by connecting with the Higher Power, the Lord which I do throughout the day. I haven't had a chance to do any bible reading and to think I was brought up with the bible, church everyday. I have ordered the book "Mary, Called Magdelene" by Margaret George am looking forward to reading it.
