I am seeing great things in my life and M. I give a lot of the credit to things I have learned here. Especially, regarding my relationships with friends and loved ones. I have learned to think a little more before I speak and to be much more patient. Zebra, when I get impatient, I now think of you and how patient you are. It does my heart good to see the rewards you are now reaping for your efforts. We could all learn from you.

The one thing that gets to me once in a while is the unknowns and bad memories. We all go through this and it just takes time and determination for it to get better. When my mind races I just stop it, right then. Move on to anything else. What is strange is how hard that can be somedays. I couldn't do that at all 6 months ago, even 3 months ago it was very hard. I am glad to see so many of you doing better at this.

I just back from an awesome hunting trip. I called my W every night and she would hardly let me get off of the phone. Then when I got home she surprised me by preparing an incredible meal in an sexy oufit. The best part was the warm embrace and her telling me how terribly she missed me. I am in a very good place in my life right now. Just 6 months ago she couldn't even commit to our M. The moral of the story is to be patient yet strong like Z. Thanks again Z for inspiring me and congrats on your huge steps.
