Thank you Gwen - that is such a lovely thing to say. I think you are amazing and brave; anyone who is able to support and give pearls of their wisdom whilst going through this themselves is an inspiration to me.
I am in awe of everyone here - I read and follow as many stories as I can and take away something from each of them. Everyone has such different stories yet we are all the same - I am in awe of those who remain faithful in the belief of their m, of those who decide enough is enough and it time to focus on themselves, of those who has stood the time and are now reconciled with their loved one and of those who have gone on to make happier lives for themselves. Each and everyone is an inspiration, a brave and amazing person.
Gwen - you are doing so well yourself - its still early in the process for you. Please don't compare how you are doing to others as everyone is different. I think you are doing fantastic, as I said, you are helping me along the path, so be proud of yourself. - pat on the back time :o) -
At the same time I hope that anything I do may help you along your path - if I can do it, you can do it sort of thing. Is there anything you have always wanted to do or anywhere you have always wanted to go? Dream's are free :o) Can you imagine making them reality one day, wow, how great would that be ........ I know it is really cliche but the saying it so true " you only get one life and only you can live it". Choose to live it Gwen.
I can assure you that the "outer" me is not the same as the "inner" me - I push myself to GAL, I doubt myself all the time, I feel like I have two little imps, one on each shoulder, arguing - do it, don't do it. I MAKE myself do stuff, most of the time I feel uncomfortable and awkward, but I do it anyway as one day I may enjoy what i am doing or where I am, I would have missed out on something good.
Keep moving forwards Gwen - day by day, hour by hour if necessary. Its the way I live, never going too far ahead - having my dreams but allowing things to change along the way .... you will be fine, I know you will, I believe in you
