I really hope I don't remember the anniversary date of bomb drop! As a matter of fact, I'm going to modify my signature, so that I can't. I don't like to mark days that were unbearable, such a deaths...I guess BD is a death of sorts...it's going in my "do not remember this date" pile. LOL

You and Woofie...LOL Sounds like a great time!

I like the phrase "express myself authentically" - I've often thought I was burying myself to live someone else's life. My new goal is to live authentically. I've got so much to look forward to...and I think the real me isn't nearly as bad as I've been afraid of.

You're a rare gem, PP. I truly appreciate you.


Thank you for this Judy. I believe with all of my heart the real you is far more than you ever could have imagined. "Be authentic at all costs" was written across the top of my journal pages after BD. It was a monumentally transformative experience. Be you Judy, and the let the pieces fall where they may.

Personally I can never forget the day my W left. It was the day my life changed forever and I know don't want to hide from it, pretend it didn't happen, nor celebrate it. It's just part of my story and happens to the be the last page before the greatest chapters.

I know you've had a tough road with your sitch, I'm still following along. Be authentic! What's the worst that could happen....your H leave you and you end up on the news?! It's all gravy from here!

Big hug to you,

PP
