PP - I truly appreciate your thoughtful reflections and observations. Your willingness to honestly share the trials and tribulations of your journey help so many people. Thank you.
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.
I was thinking about how long its been for me... 6.5 months. It went be so fast but so slow all at the same time. I was trying to remember what it was like with her here... but I just couldn't quite picture it. Odd.
Glad to hear about the yoga. That is a goal for me this year. I have to man it up and sign up for a class. Enjoy your day PP... sounds like you have a lot going on.
Ancaire.... I agree about the dates. I think I am going to modify my sig too.

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

Appreciate this Pinn. As I said to Ancaire, I want to remember the dates because I want to be engaged with the entire process. Sure I don't watch our wedding videos any more, but this really happened. Part of moving beyond it is coming to terms with the reality of it.
As for yoga my friend, it's new to me. I'm not good at it. I was a professional athlete so not being good at something physically is challenging on a number of levels. That's why I'm doing it. DB'ing is all about learning new ways of being so I figured a year of learning to use my body differently had to have some unintended positive consequences.
Big hug,
PP

It seems like your ready to graduate with honors from DB University. It will be hard for me when your gone. You were there for me in the beginning when I was a basket case. I will never forget you and your kindness.
Great post PP- you certainly are a stand up guy and special human! Your journey has been so dynamic and I know its just the beginning. Like others have said- thank you for the inspiration!

PP, thank you so much for sharing and for being you. You joined a bit after me and we connected fairly quickly. I have always appreciated your humor, self reflections, and ability to encapsulate just the emotions/thoughts that we are all feeling, and then invite us to come along with you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I will miss you as so many on here have moved on, but your words will still resonate in my soul and your humor will have me laughing in my darkest hour.
Peace to you and Woofie.
