I was poking around just now and saw this post. How great to hear from you and what a great thread!!! I am glad to hear that things are going well in your reconciliation.
I am one that didn't "make it", but as you so eloquently said, I made it in a different way. I have discovered things about myelf that I had forgotten when I was part of a couple and the D has made me face both good and bad in my life. I have "made it" to the other side of the D a stronger and happier person!!
Quote: Because believe it or not, whether you 'reconcile' or not, YOU will be a stronger, better person to yourself than you ever imagined you could be, once YOU make YOURSELF the FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT priority in your life.
I just love your words of wisdom!!!
Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
