Let's All Be Like Coffee

Not sure what happened to my previous post. Trying again!

Asitis, Julie, E, and Judy,

Thanks for your support.

Judy, I am glad you somehow find encouragement in my posts. I have often felt like a case study in how NOT to DB. I do see a number of similarities in our stories.

Julie, interesting that you mention independence as impressive. Was one of the things my H mentioned was an issue. He said I was too independent, which In some sense is probably true. I think I am ok doing my own thing too much, but just got used to it with his schooling. He was gone most of the summer for last 7 years with his research, so I had to be ok going it alone. The problem was that even though I missed him when he was gone, I had gotten so used to doing my own thing and so when he would come home I would get irritated because he but a kink in the rhythm I had created. This is where practicing gratitude would have done me good.

Zeus, I am still digesting your post and will reply this weekend when I have more time to think.
