I have to thank you again. Thanks to you and your reading materials I see a whole new side of things I "refused" to see before. I have read "For Women Only" and am now halfway thru "The Proper Care and Feeding of your Husband" by Dr. Laura. Wow - she's brutal - but man, rightly so. I have been having a hard time blaming everything on mlc - tho I know that's part of who he is right now simply trying to find what place he wants to be in life. But it is so easy to see why he would have left me to look for the real dream person. It makes so much sense.
And as I've changed over the last several months - he spends more and more time with me - tho I think he's cautiously optimistic.
I just wanted to say thank you. This learning experience has been great. And that's coming from a 54 year old. We are never too old to learn. And I am so grateful that it "seems" like he is giving me a chance to really try again - tho he's not home - he sure is here a good bit of a week now - not to mention me going to his place.
So many things to learn. So little time...........but life can be grand if we focus on the positive and keep our heads up and learn humility at the same time.
God is sooooooooo good. I wasn't going to bother with a tree and stuff this year - but yesterday I got it in my head - "hey, look at all the amazing things that Jesus has done for you - don't you want to celebrate because of Him?" Well yes I do. And even if my H isn't home for Christmas is no reason to not have the homey appeal in the house for him when he's here. I am not mopey this Christmas. There are a myriad of reasons to celebrate. Just being alive and learning is reason enough.
thank you, friend, for sharing your story and your thots and your reading material. My life is so blessed thanks to dear people like you.
love,
brue
I'm alive, I'm happy - why shouldn't I tell the world I've got my head screwed back on just fine. Life is good for the Brue!
