My goodness, my last post on the previous thread was cathartic. No doubt I will have ups and downs, but the rest has got to be about My Kids and I, and nothing about her. No more tests. No more impacts. No more approaching her.
My previous thread was all about what GB called the PTSD part of the Divorce when things go quiet and people get a little edgy. I thought I did well, until the end. At the end of the day, I did my best and listened to my gut (which happened to be wrong, but I will learn).
So what does The Next Day of the Rest of My Life look like...

"If you want to be more attractive make a decision to live in a beautiful state. To say, I'm not going to give up my happiness over little stuff. I'm not going to be obsessed about things I can't control. I'm going to focus on what I can control and can do. And when people are generous, when they are playful, when they are warm, when they are sincere, when they are loving. People love to be around them. There is nothing more attractive. And when someone is always bitching, always complaining, always whining, always blaming someone else, always fearful or always worried. They are a bummer to be around. Just pick it out. So what does it take to be attractive, what it really takes is appreciating your life. Most people their upsets are because their expectations aren't meet. They expect people to be a certain way, expect yourself to be a certain way, expect the government to be a certain way. And it isn't. I always tell people to trade their expectations for appreciation. And your whole life will change like that. If you can just start appreciating the people around you, appreciate this moment, appreciating the things you aren't noticing, you will live in a beautiful state. And other people will find being around you an attractive or enjoyable experience, its that simple." - T. Robbins
Kids... My relationship with my them has never been better. My D asked if she had to go to X's on Christmas b/c she wanted to wake up here. This is the only place she has ever known on Christmas morning. I felt bad for X, but those are the consequences of her decisions. Last night we had a ton of fun running around the house and playing.
Work... My startup is happening. Every day it is closer. Letter of Intent on the building is next Wednesday. Social media presence kicked off last week. Website going live today (only a small portion of the whole website). No products in stock yet to sell, but we have a lot of people/suppliers on hook or interested. I have a verbal agreement with my first full time employee to start in June. I have a showing to a potential renter for additional space I am purchasing on Sunday (risk management move). And in two weeks a meeting with a potential partner to discuss a merger (to raise more capital and the ability to sell more product).
Woman... No idea. I'm flirtatious enough. But my friends have bugged me for awhile to let them set me up on blind dates. I'm not sure if thats my thing. I'm in no rush.
