Gordie 23 one year after she dropped the D

DNJ

Thank you for reminding me I am right where I am supposed to be

Roist

Good point about watching paint dry

I am guilty of that

And hoping by watching I can make it speed up

I am not an ultra marathon type guy

But a good prod to make some goals separate from w

Gerda

You are so sweet

And while I think I am far from exemplary

I do hope leaving all of these threads behind

Does someone some good now and in the future

I try to keep it real

Inclusive of all of my hopes and doubts

Not painting a picture too rosy or gloomy

But as accurate as I am able to see



Journaling

So one weekly point of tension comes every Sunday morning

Gordie and the kids getting ready and heading off to church

Every Sunday w acts annoyed that we are going to church

Not sure what to do about that

She has made it clear she does not want to go to church

She has also made it clear she wants to be included in family activities

Given that conflict I just ignore her negative vibes

Once we return home there is no negative vibe

It is just felt in the pre church routine

On a positive note

W has been doing more little things for me

And sending me friendlier less business like text messages

In addition my daughter wrote me a valentine

Expressing what a great dad I am

And thanking me for always taking care of her

That felt really nice

Keep strong and keep warm

And peace be with you all
