How important life is and how my focus on my R really is not. How some people love no mater what and some choose not to. How we must focus on the future and not the past. How we must assess the present and use our assessment to move on

Wow... this one got me. You are a wise man Jeff. Don't stop living and don't stop loving Here again you're speaking of detachment I think, maybe, possibly. How do we do that? Continue to live, love and put out good, but not focus the R with our SO as a measure of how successfully we're living and loving? Do all of us fight that? I mean... I can be having a great day personally, and then Wham! something will happen or not happen in my R and my outlook on life isn't so rosy. Maybe it's that lingering expectation that someone else can make us happy or not having enough of our own life to fulfill us on a continual basis. Not sure, but it's a frustrating cycle.

Glad your Mom is doing better and she had a chance to tell you how she feels. She is SO right.. your W doesn't know what troubles are. She could have so much with you if she'd just wake up and see that. Before you find yourself a nice girl No doubt if you decide to move on you won't have trouble finding a dance partner.
