Hanging and hoping- seperation edition

[BillyHo]

Hello everyone. Hope everybody had a great weekend. I did some serious GAL this weekend. I took off on Friday and got to hang out with my boys before school. W actually came over in the morning for a couple of hours and hung out at my place. After that I left for a long drive for my destination for the weekend. On the way I listened to a audiobook on jealousy. The book was very eye opening and had some good techniques for dealing with those jealous feelings. One thing is to just acknowledge the feelings and don't give into them.

I went to a friends for the weekend that I haven't seen for a while. It was a very long drive and in a way very relaxing. While at my friends I was able to check off one of the items on my bucket list.

W had the boys and they went away for the weekend with her side of the family. She posted lots of fun pics on FB. I was glad to see the boys had a great time but I couldn't help but think "man I wish I was there with them."

I arrived home late last night. While at work this morning W tm me with a question then a little later called about a bill. While talking I asked her about their weekend. She went on for about 5 min telling me all about it. I didn't interrupt I just listened. I have been trying to slip a question in here and there about her when we talk just so she has a chance to share with me. I don't get too personal just general stuff about work or the boys. I feel like this is a good opportunity for me to listen and validate whenever I get the chance.

Today I have some free time so I am going to work on the letter my coach asked me to write apologizing for my shortcomings in the M. Hope to have a session to review it this week.
