Part 17 - Edz, living in interesting times

[Vanilla]

I love Wickham Vineyard. They do a great orange ginger sponge butter pudding with custard!

Yes it's interesting to read back threads. I always do this before a new thread, read the last few old ones. Some of my threads seem to have thread parties on them too, so that makes the reading of them easier and helps with reflection. All the usual suspects playing kindergarten.

Writing the threads in real time is different to reading back threads. In real time V is hoping Edz will build an R with his S, Jim will stop reacting and let WW do her thing, that Toots will get her email, that Gan enjoys her travel, that Pink is ok etc
Reading a new series of threads is different as it isn't real time, the sense of journey is gone, more book like.

When I read my own thread then I detatch more, I would like to reach to that V then and say "listen to Edz, that Wonka knows a thing or two, Jim that was insightful " . It is as if there were journey points and the struggle fruites, a knowledge is understood, a 2x4 is reacted to and from then on there is only knowing and there can be no not knowing. If that makes sense.

My first point like that was early on when MrB said "let your H fall" and I said to myself "that's just inevitable, why am I delaying the pain" then very soon after Sandi said "nothing you do deserves that treatment".

I reviewed my notes on your sitch Edz and these are the points I saw as changers, when you moved from the flat, when WW let S stay for more than 2 nights on the run, when you went to your first proper GAL, when WW did more than sit in the car or hover at the door. When you first let WW deal with MIL (her M) knowing it took you further to your goal. When you emerged as one of the kindergarten crew!

So Edz, what are your defining moments? Your crossroad moments?
