I think it's OK to let go

Nice weekend all-in-all. W is wearing her wedding rings again.

Wow. Wow. That's just great Time. Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy your mini-vacay coming up. You deserve it. Cheers and thanks as always, for all your help. FMV.

Every time I read something like this, it gives me just a little sliver of hope. Good for you!

I know you have put in your hard work and it hasn't been easy. Maybe my hard work is just beginning. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees.

Keep doing the right thing. You have my prayers.

Thanks for the well wishes. Going slow and easing back into this right now. "Letting the rose bloom in its own time" if you will.

I suppose we could have had one huge talk up front, but so far things are getting checked off the list of things that need to be done before reconcilling.

The one I am unsure of exactly what I am going to do is the whole therapy angle. At some point, there's gotta be something, and I don't want anything where we sit around and talk about our problems and keep opening old wounds. I want something more geared toward building a better relationship, and that's about it. Now, if she wants to do IC, then that's fine with me. Couldn't hurt. Barring that, this is just going to take a while, I expect.

The rose is just beginning to bud.

Don't let your dogs pee on it.

You never know. You have to be prepared to go on alone, I think, and be happy anyway.

It has certainly been an eventful year.

There must be some therapists in your area that use MWD's 'solution oriented (or focussed?) brief' therapy... isn't that what she calls it? As far as I understand, it's about the 'here and now' problems. They don't even get into the stuff that's done and gone. Besides, if it's going well right now, just the two of you, you don't have to make a decision on it yet.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the understatement of the year!!

I have a few minutes between meetings, so journaling:

T-minus 2.5 days and counting to the Hot Springs micro-vacation.

W is sending lots of emails lately. Got a few Tiggers in my email. Tigger makes me smile. I have a "gigantical" smile right now

Day is good. Life is good. Pretty calm day, and nothing untoward to report.

TH,

I am envious! Have a great time and thank you for your support!

Tigger?! You mean the 'The wonderful thing about Tiggers Is Tiggers are wonderful things; Their tops are made out of rubber; Their bottoms are made out of springs' kind of Tigger? If so, well then no wonder you're smilin! Tigger's groovy.
