Yes, I think I was starting to depend on or expect friendly/postive interactions w/ W, and when they haven't happened post-vacations, I started to stir. It truly is time to self-feed. My PMA is actually pretty good - just need to regain my skills regarding staying loose and fun while around W, w/ very low expectations.
T, nice advice regarding compassion and distance.
I am sooo glad I backed away from a particular work committee with her. That would have been disastrous, IMO. Seems like we both need some space/time to think. UD, I did reassure W about not seeing anyone else (she did so first) after she described me as going out and painting the town red after I got back from vacation. No specific allegations about other women, but I think she's wondering. I guess a more specific reminder about her choice to D and my willingness to talk again about 'us' if she wants to revisit that choice?
Work buddy and I are working on our 1st website for our practice tomorrow - very cool! Placing an ad for a line of work I've designed - also exciting!
How's your running going, UD? I'm more of a cross-trainer than runner, using weights/bike/swimming too, but I've noticed I definitely bump up the mood following a run. Does it work that way for you? I am so thankful I'm able to run - was grounded for 2 yrs following a cartilege tear, but now the knee feels very strong. No basketball or tennis, but it is holdign up well.
Noticed that when I played a wedding song on my MP3 player at the gym - Sade's Kiss of Life, it made me smile. This thing will work out. As Michele notes, time and patience... And tons of hard work!!!
