sjohn, you can't imagine how this brought a smile to my frowny face this morning. I had the most horrifying week -- it included six hours in court and then meeting with some FEDERAL criminal investigators who are searching for one of the guys who I am in court against (from the business I sold when H went crazy). My son has also totally spiraled since my H came back.

But thinking that something I wrote brought you any kind of clarity or peace or just reflection is amazing to me. and then when I got to your last paragraph, I literally smiled from ear to ear, looked up at the post-storm sky out my window and felt HAPPY!

I actually had a dream last night that we all met for pizza in my city. So I am cutting you a virtual slice right now.

Thank you so much for this post.

Oh and by the way, I did say thank you. I will write more later but after an amazing confession, I have had some peace. I still don't talk to him but not in an active way, there has been some grace in terms of detachment for me.


I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
