Thank you, 2nd.

In the past couple of weeks you, Corri, and a woman I had been dating have given me greater clarity.

I'm not 100% where I need to be yet, at some point I will have to have a conversation with Robin (the woman of my dreams) about perceptions versus reality. Will have to find a way to relate to her with integrity at the level that she states (friendship). Not at the level that I percieve she needs or desires. (love and intimacy).

And I will have to find a way to ensure my own needs are being met even more effectively, without being a victim of my own fears and desires...

But that's a little further done the road. I have enough on my mind at the moment.

Today is the first day I am consciously directing my self with a flexible plan, specific focus, inviolate standards, and long term view.

Today is the first day I have some reliable feelings about the future of my family. Feelings that I know I can control.

Today I have even more certainty of what I need to do for myself, and the beginnings of certainty about what I must do for our kids, and also do for Robin.

I am seeing how I can give them more of the things they want and need. How I can serve them better, without imposing myself upon them.

Feels new. Feels better.

More later.
