Way Too Late Pt 3

[trumpet]

Gentlemen,

Been there, done that. You just don't know how long a WW will go rogue. You just don't know.

You get to multiple hills and valleys through our situations. Had a valley a week ago, when I was crying on the kitchen floor. Hit me that I'm looking for a new place to live, and more finality of the D set in.

There is hope for the M, but it fades with time, as the WW continues to ignore the splinter in her eye, while yelling at us for the splinter in our eye.

You feel like burning the old ship as you sail away one day. The next, you long for the ship. Don't make fatalistic mistakes via emotions - hatred and anger will typically steer the ship into the rocks.

Chart your new course. It takes some doing, and we're not all that skilled navigators when we've been on autopilot for so long. Chart the course. Lay out goals. Make some phone calls. Learn a new craft, a new hobby, new people. Don't EVER be afraid of saying hello to someone, especially a beautiful woman! You never know.

My wife will realize when I'm gone that her fancy for a pen-pal OM in another state, while desperately searching to be happy, is a futile effort.

The journey, you see, starts in the center of your body, with a thread to your mind, your soul. From there, the strength to imagine a new course buds, and soon, you'll be grabbing the tiller and making that course correction. Tack the ship to the new heading. Put up the jibs up, and stay the course.

1313, your wife has lots of issues... we're here, as men, because we've watched the women of our lives decide to set sail with no real heading. We have our issues as well - it takes two to tango. Realize your weaknesses, address them, and stay the course. We have the power to steer the ship!

I've learned so much from the books I've read, and from members on this board. I realize that sometimes we need to get smacked across the forehead by a 2 X 4 to really wake up and realize we can grab the tiller and make things happen. Some want another person to steer the ship. IT'S YOUR SHIP - YOU HAVE TO STEER! It's never too late to learn to chart a new course!
