Thanks, Life. When I back away and look at the big picture (the forest), I am too. Sometimes in the day to day (the trees), it's hard to be. Guess that's a lesson to learn...

I am just down


Proactive, without expectations...

I used to (still do) send my wife a silly email, a picture (demotivators are funny), or ask if there was anything I could do, or she could think of that would brighten her day.

Without the expectations...

I didn't want my wife being down...still don't.

I sure hope so.


Man so do I!
But...those are words...how?
Great time to start, to try, to show.

I agree with Jack. Perfect opportunity to go that extra little mile and DO something that will put a smile on her face, no matter how small.

So, you know those free e-cards you can send? Back in the day, W and I used to send those to each other all the time. There were some with a couple of cartoon characters that W always liked.

Just sent one to W. It was a birthday card, and it's not anywhere near her birthday. Note on the card "I know it's not your birthday, and I know how you love these little guys. Thought you could use a laugh and a smile. ily"

Point taken folks. Thanks for the advice.

Texting with W this morning about several topics. She includes this note: "I'd like to shoot for next month for you to move back in"

I know we still have TONS of work to do, but that's nice nice nice....

Great Job X.

I'm taking a break from here, but I check in now and then. My advice - got through and read some of your old threads to see what you will need from her. Remember this isn't her way only.

Also, I'm sure this will come up in MC.

For now, really try to enjoy your FREEDOM! LOL
