Kent, as usual, you are hitting it right on the head. You must have thought I would never get it. I still need you and JJ to keep me in line sometimes, tho'.
ALTL, Kent is also right about burnout, and I think it’s partly about lost faith, too. We’ve lost faith in so much… our partners – there’s that fear that they won’t “pick up the other end” of the rope if we let go, and in ourselves- that we won’t be ok if that happens. It’s a hard one. I have noticed that (for me) the time I have the least faith (and most fear), is when I find I have stopped looking for the baby steps. H’s and mine, too.
Zebra, Yes, time does move agonizingly slowly while we are in the “turning around big ships” business. The waves get big, too. Keep the tugboat steady. (haven’t started the new thread yet??)…
Chelsea, I keep thinking about what you said a few months ago, that my H was on his way back to me… when it seemed really unlikely. It still might be, but I thank you for those words ‘cause they have helped. Funny how we just need someone in our corner sometimes to feel that much stronger.
