Karen--You did an excellent job responding to Seattle.

I'm going to reiterate the considering for Meredith, since she's probably off bathing her toddlers. (2nd period of the Avs game just started, so I won't pontificate.)

Considering just means that you will contemplate where they fit in the scheme of things. Are they deal breakers? Are they personal "want" items that either we or our S has requested? If we aren't inclined to budge, why or why not?

And if, in the end, the deal breakers are all present and accounted for, it gives us the basis for decision making.

In my opinion (and I realize that it is just an opinion), a good decision is one where there is no conflict between the head, heart and soul. That is, there is no niggling doubt in any area.

It is my recommendation that if there is ANY doubt (whether reasonable or not), it is not a good time to make a decision.

BTW, I'm contemplating a letter to give to Mr. Wonderful on Thursday morning--requesting that he read it that evening. I'm going to pour out my heart and soul into it and let him know what I want out of a marriage. It's not a blame theme at all. But I have a zillion things running through my head and want to put them into words.

He seems a whole lot more receptive to my letters--although I have not written one to him in at least 6 months. After I finish mulling the outline and writing the nuts and bolts, I'll let you know. It is along the line of Meredith's homework assignment.

Now, off to gather D7, head to the library for a book recommended by Hud (which is now available for checkout ) and get D10 from gymnastics.

I better be hockey happy tomorrow morning...
