Ms. Pam,

Sounds like such an interesting book! And, to be sure, it's fear (of loss, of not being in control, of a thousand things) that is keeping me stuck!

I really need to take a break, do a reality check and bask in some contentment for a while.

To that end, I'm happy to report we had a great weekend, despite still being SICK! Thanksgiving we spent with my mother -- it actually went much better than I expected! the day after we went back over there and visited with my sister and her family (from philly), my dad and stepmom, etc. THAT was really fun too.

Saturday I had a group meeting for school and then yesterday we hung around relaxing and then h went to a friend's house to watch the Pats game while I did a ton of homework.

Interspersed throughout the weekend were lovely and thoughtful gestures from h. He made me breakfast Saturday AM...he surprised me by taking me out on a "date" and even picked a movie that I wanted to see that he definitely didn't! And he gave me a massage yesterday...something I've been desperately needing. He also has been doing a ton of work around the house!

Lots and lots and lots of good stuff coming from h!!!

I have much to be grateful for. I need and want to start viewing this M as a "new" one...and stop dwelling on the old.

On another topic...one more week of school for me and then it's a LONG break! Yahoo. I can't wait!
