Don't You Feel Better?

[MAL]

JS,

Reading that last post made me think of that movie "The Air Up There" with Kevin Bacon. Did you ever see that? You probably wouldn't have liked it. Probably too much mush or deep messages for your taste.

I just noticed that here in Piecing, you face some of the same problems we do over in Surviving. So much of the past that we can't leave behind. Trying to move forward, but the skeletons pulling us back. Trying to rebuild, but so many trust issues. Figuring out where you fit, and who you are along the way. Things like that.

I guess what I'm saying is that in your M, or out of it, you're going to have to face many of the same issues.

You'd think that if you stayed together, it would be easier than a D. WRONG. It's a lot of work.

You'd think that getting a D would allow you to put the past behind you, give you a fresh start, give you freedom and something better. WRONG. There's so much of the old, and the M that you take with you - things you cannot escape.

Either way, it's work, and it pretty much stinks. But, you can make it through this. You know that.

So, chin up, keep using that "staying power", and brush off some of those DB skills. It sounds like you're still doing well.

I'm done rambling now. (Hey, at least I didn't make a list this time.)

P.S.
Yes this holiday season is a heck of a lot better than where we were 2 years ago, and it will only get better from here. 2 years? WOW. Seems like just yesterday, yet seems like so long ago at the same time. Does that make sense?

Take care Big Guy.

Have a Happy New Year! It gets better every year!
