Hey PP, I just posted an update in my thread (finally) and noticed your latest post. I think of you quite often. Honesty and openness are two of your best traits, among many others.
As you are well aware, I have done my share of sulking, too. We all know divorce is one of the most devastating things one can go through. I'm not sure I can say at exactly what point I became "Mr. PMA" (LOL) but it changed my life for the better. Big time! I have probably tripled my circle of great friends (mostly thru Meetup Groups), feel great about myself--maybe better than in my entire 55 year life and feel good about my future. It's taken me almost one full year but I've made it.
I KNOW it's not easy, but try to turn the negative "sulking" energy into positive. How? That's the tough part but you are a smart guy and will figure it out. For me, GAL really helped--along with people such as you in our DB Family.
So, what are you going to do to turn the negative energy into positive? How about getting involved in a charity? (If you are, I apologize--I have a lot of catching up to do.) Live, laugh and list all the good things in your life. For now, focus on that. It's such a cliché, but tomorrow is a new day. Right?
You know I love you like a brother. Work on yourself--you cannot control the situation.
I'll swing by as soon as I can. In the meantime, you will be in my prayers.
Bob
