I posted this in mahhhty's thread, and thought for those of you following my sitch you could benefit from it, too:
Now, this my seem a little odd at first, but I have been doing this for about 1 week and it seems to be helping me. It's one of those "daily affirmations" that you say outloud to yourself.
Here it is: In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect whole and complete. I now choose calmly and objectively to see my old patterns and I am willing to make changes. I choose to have fun doing this. I choose to react is though I have found a treasure when I discover something else to release. I see in feel myself changing moment by moment. Thoughts no longer have any power over me. I am the power in the world. I choose to be free. All is well in my world.

I don't know how many of you receive Michele's occassional e-mail but she reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, It was at the very end of yesterday's e-mail.
William Shakespeare once wrote, "No legacy is so rich as honesty."
Food for thought.

I did a GAL activity tonight - a Meetup Group at an Irish Piub - and I am so depressed.
I danced with sone lovely women, made a few new friends, but seeing couples having fun together made me miss my soulmate so much.
I am far from perfect, but I'll never understand why my W walked out on me without even giving counseling a chance.

Hey Bob - it's morning here. And can I say - well done on going to the Meetup! I have done one or two things and felt low afterwards - but the thing is you pushed yourself and you did it, so that's pat on the back time.
I know what you mean about couples, I find it painful to watch people sometimes. It is hard that they are in a place where they are all tender with each other and we aren't. But life is cyclical and who knows in a few years time, we and they may have switched places again.
So, please don't be despondent....tell yourself how well you did to get out there to a Meetup, get a good night's sleep - and tomorrow's another day.
Take care (((Bob)))
