Where to begin? Part 2

[Dawgs]

Thank you, Thornton. Yesterday was really a bad day for me. But, I didn't let her or the kids see it. Always remain upbeat even when feeling the worst! I realize that it isn't all my fault, and you are correct. I tend to take on the world on my shoulders and am working on that.

So, last night kind of evened out. We all went for a walk and got along great. I continued practicing the 37 and detaching and working on myself.

It took me a while, but I do feel that I am returning to that man I was and the one she fell for (I know, odd to hear concerning how down I have been lately). I want to think that she is taking notice and maybe she is. But I do feel better inside. I have made some fundamental changes to my way of thinking. I have to - for me. Which trickles down to kids and everyone else.

I don't know if this is an interesting turn of events - maybe it is what it is: My W has the holiday off and a while ago we had discussed me also taking it off for just the two of us. Today, she tells me that she wants us to go do something alone - which would allow us to talk about things and kind of sort them out. I don't really know what to think on that. The optimist says maybe that candle is burning a little brighter, and the pessimist says she isn't considering that at all. However, she did say that it was going to be nothing bad.

Take on this???
