So..towards peace and happiness..

[Sotto]

Thanks so much guys. Yes I think it is just a case of letting it all bubble away on the stove for now. TBH, I have been so busy this week I haven't had much time to think. My various Xmas parties came a little early this year and I've been out most nights this week - bookstore Xmas meal, Divorce Group, Yoga & coffee after with a friend, work Xmas meal, birthday party and out to see a live band. I'm pretty tired this morning - but that busy spell is over and I did have a fun time!

This week is much quieter and I'm going to recharge and finish off my Xmas shopping. I'm off to cook some lunch for the parents later and give them some TLC.

Pink, thanks for your lovely post. That is an interesting story about the bowling lady. People on this forum often post in terms of 'months' but I think it does tend to be years. It truly takes a good while for things to percolate and for the WAS to taste coffee and sometimes find it bitter.

For me, I notice lately that I am thinking about H and our sitch less than I did. I think that happens with a good period of NC. If we are in touch again, I'm sure thoughts will bubble up again. I feel I'm at a stage where it feels hard to be standing, and I don't really know if what I am standing for is worth the stand. I can see what people mean when they post about the feelings of love fading and the choice to stand being more based on your own principles than feelings of love. At the moment, I do and I don't love H...it varies from day to day.

Well, time for me to get moving this morning....have a good day everyone xx
