Focusing on the R: Post-D DBing

[FiatLux]

Martha, thanks for that WOA on my sitch. What - wasn't it good for you, too? I really enjoyed our convo, Hon - don't ever hesitate, please. You fed me, too.

I think my patience is based in a more solid love for self, and this seems to be feeding my ability to be supportive to W (and S5). I'm less irritated by her/his needs, and can celebrate almost any contact with them. This change seems to be helping to heal our R (along w/ W's personal work as well, I'm sure).

I wasn't stewing or anything last night, but I felt myself getting a little soft - in terms of effort and focus on self-improvement, as well as a few too many beer calories from the drinkfest with the Marines. Man, can they hold their liquor! I'm a bonafide lightweight. The long work hrs are helping the pocketbook, but I think I'm starting to stagnate as a whole person. So I went for long run at 10:30pm and then did meditative prayer at home. Focused on the message of John 11:1-45, and really found piece re the D, and this waiting for her change.

This am I was talking to a secretary about my and S5s vacation plans, and W walked in and asked me to come to her office when I could. I went over later and she had a plate of rice krispie treats w/M&Ms for me that she and S5 made. I thanked her and noted that it was very thoughtful of her. Was able to naturally give WOAs for a few other things she's doing with/for S5 as well, including swimming and finding a consumer program that saves for kids colleges called UPromise just thru one's typical purchases. It was a nice comfortable, friendly visit - reminded me of how we were as friends before we starting dating, prior to our starting to playfully flirt.

Good start to the day. I plan to mix in hard work with the gym/a run before picking S5 up for a visit. He's doing space camp today.
