Gabriel,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. You are doing great. In the end your consistency and patience will be what leads you back to a content and peaceful life with ex.

Just last night I was riding in the car and seeing all the X-mas trees on street corners made me realize that Christmas is here once again. My bomb was in Nov so this will be the third Christmas since the bomb. The first one was a whirlwind that I can't even imagine without getting nauseous. Horrible! The second one was a year and a month after the bomb. I remember just taking it moment by moment to get through each day of that week. I was still in the stage where I thought about ex every second of every single day with this aching feeling in my heart. I realized last night that I will truly enjoy this holiday season. I never thought this would be possible especially so soon.

My point is that you are doing great. It is true that time does make things better. Don't ever forget that. As the days roll along you will get healthier and healthier and ex will see these changes. She will eventually follow along. Keep doing what you are doing and you will slowly start to see things fall into place.
