Well it pays not to get too excited, huh? H was a "no show" today for D's party. No call to say he'd changed his mind or wasn't coming, no call to D yesterday or today. When I saw him yesterday, he said he was definitely going to call her yesterday. I am not upset, not even really that surprised, because thankfully I have read enough about MLC and A behavior to know this is par for the course. But it still feels weird, even though I know it is typical behavior. He seemed so normal yesterday. And it is also so easy to speculate what might have happened, and to spend time on that. The most difficult part for me, is managing not to worry. When H and I were "in" our M, H always let me know where he was, and vice versa. I wonder sometimes, when he completely dissappears, if I will get a call from a hospital room that he has hurt himself with one of the big machines. But not likely. Should I ask him about it? Wait for him to bring it up? Ignore it? Interestingly, none of those things are really running me tonight. H is doing his thing. I am happy with my life, whether H is here or not. If he wants back in, the door is open right now. But I will not spend time chasing him down, in thoughts or actions. Affirmations: I release, I let go. I surrender, I trust. I am patient. My life is divinely guided, so all is well.
We had a wonderful day anyway (of course), and D had a great party. Croquet on the lawn, and I outdid myself with the food. Really a fun day, and D has great friends. I am so blessed that my 25 Year Old D would prefer to spend her B-day here with me, than somewhere else. And I love her friends. What a blessing that is.
We are off to the local festivities now in town. Free entertainment until midnight. Fun. Tomorrow, all the "kids" come back, hopefully to eat some leftovers :-) as me alone in the house will not manage to eat those.
Thanks for being there, y'all. More later.
