Thanks for the responses everyone.

And thanks for the reminders about how far I've come.

You're right about this Job:

Quote:
We fight the hard battle for such a long time and when there's nothing left to fight for in the way of the relationship, we soon begin to focus on us and we come to realize just how much time we spent focusing on the MLCer and/or walkaways.


And, I'm actually upset with myself that it took so long for me to snap out of it. Honestly, I'm still not 100% or where I'd like to be, but I'm getting there.

You started from scratch, You since got 2 promotions, if i' m correct, a new home, a very nice lady friend, NEW PASSION ( photography and marine life ). You have rediscovered who TAD IS as an individual.


smile Funny thing, I had those passions before I got married and got lost along the way. I got my first camera when I was 12 and read my first book by Jacques Cousteau when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. It's like I got married and forgot who I was...

Exquisite, thanks for checking out my photos on FB.

KML, you're a rock star dude. Good for you. I will check out he FB page for inspiration.

Cali, thanks for the very kind words. I guess I have come LIGHT YEARS from where I was. Sometimes, I forget. Last night I was outside and something in the air reminded me where I was 5-6 years ago. (This is the time of year when the sh!t hit the fan.) The feelings came back for just a moment. Man, I was in a dark place at one point. So glad I'm no longer there.

Eric, Vegas....hahaha! Haven't been since my divorce. Money is tight, but I'll see if I can scrape up some dough.

And yes, I think you are right. I'm just TIRED. Very tired.

Again, thanks to all of you for checking in and the reminders!
