Masterpiece - a little more progress...

[Jer2911]

I just want to share a good update with what I perceive to be more blessings from God in this entire mess... OW is still in the picture, but we have actually had a really great weekend so far as a family. My W is being increasingly much more friendly -- to the point where this morning we had a long talk about what is going on at the place where she works (the kind of conversation we used to have), yesterday some of my family came over and she was very friendly to them (like nothing had happened between us even though she knows that they know everything) and they were friendly back to her, and in the middle of the day today while we were driving with the kids to a birthday party she was very talkative and asking questions about what my mom's side of the family are doing tomorrow for Easter Sunday and she seemed really interested in wanting to know how everyone is doing.

I am not even trying to mind-read why the change in behavior, because, as I said at the beginning, OW is still in the picture -- I am just being very thankful to God for every single day that we can be together under the same roof as a family peacefully... Every single day is one day more than I expected when this whole mess started. And I have faith that all of these good family moments that we can have together will make a difference at some point in the future -- so the more of these we can have, the better.

As for tomorrow -- we are all going to church together as a family with W's parents and W's sister & her family. W going to church is an answer to another big prayer and, once again, I am hoping it's a day filled with lots of positive family moments that will get stored in the memory bank for later processing.

I'm also pulling a 180 tomorrow -- for myself mostly, but W will not be able to not notice... I'll be wearing a dress -- a really cute sleeveless navy blue dress that looks great on me. Not expecting it to cause an instant wake-up in W, but I feel very comfortable in the dress, like the way I look, and it will be nice for my two daughters to see me in a dress to see that mommy can get "dressed up" like they do :-)

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I don't have a crystal ball like Wonka, but I've got a feeling that God is planning for our family to have a really special day tomorrow.

Happy Easter to everyone -- I hope you all are blessed with a lovely day!
