Hi Slowly! I hope you and NG had a wonderful weekend

My parents are actually on your side of the pond getting ready for a cruise...wish I was there too

Well, my H is now seriously talking about meeting with his bosses to see about reducing the nights he is working. He is really being taken advantage of and finally is saying he going to do something about it. I don't know why it takes him so long to do something. It's kinda like what the Rottzs were saying about growing up in a guilt inducing home. My H never wants to say no to work and then has no time for a life outside of work. I really hope that he is serious about confronting them. He said if they don't adjust his schedule properly he will start to look elsewhere.

H has also been saying how he is feeling lonely and has no friends outside of work. I feel bad for him but tried to highlight that several long term friends were driving distance away (hours) and we could plan visits. I guess this is some mlc stuff of him feeling alone and with the schedule problems we do each spend a lot of time on our own

I thought this quote was apt for WAS and LBS alike:

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
-Mary Pickford

Well, all have a great day

According to the Buddha, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow may "come and go like the wind," but happiness comes if you can "rest like a great tree in the midst of them all."
