Hey there Wes! Good to see you posting and not just lurking (I could feel your presence thru the Force ).

I don't want her back as she is - we both need to grow to have a healthy R. Could have been work we did together in the M (I think), but now that the chips have fallen where they have, we had to do our work separately for now.

Martha, you're right - I didn't think this way until I had grown myself.

Hope, how do I keep up my PMA? Hmmmm. I remember when I ran track, every time I felt a headwind blowing, I'd lower into it and kick that much harder around the track. I don't know if its a survival tactic or a fighter's instinct, but we have to press that much harder in our GAL work on the hard days - for noone other than ourselves. B/c there is no one else to do this for us. Over time, it gets easier to do so.

Merrick, that's a ways from me, but Jan/Feb is manatee season, and thats a great kayaking area, so I could work in a fun weekend including a get-together. Keep me posted, would you?

Interesting. Over the past two days, I've had contact with XW's two FFs. One married in her late 20s came by my office to talk - all school/career stuff, but asked for my help, a recommendation, and advice. All stuff that kindof requires trust? Today I receive a brief email from her just inquiring about more school info. The other FF is the young 20s/t who partyied with her all summer. I received a friendly "hello" smile/nod from her. Nothing from either in several months, and now that.

Went furniture shopping briefly this afternoon. Trying to enjoy it, but I'm not much of a shopper.
