Thanks for the lentil recipes. I'm making an adjustment in our overall diet and trying to incorporate more natural low fat foods. But flavor is definitely something that we need more of. lol.

I did my swimming again today and went to mass with my kids and made us a healthy dinner. Then we sat down to watch a movie together. Yesterday I took them to an amuzement park here in the area and they enjoyed that.

I hate to see the weekend fly by so quickly as I really enjoy my time with my girls. But, gotta pay the bills to keep enjoying my time with my girls.

Kind of like Rocky in Rocky III when he was running on the beach against Apollo and he lost his confidence and quit and just stood there on the beach looking out at the ocean.

Sometimes it feels that way. Sometimes when I am swimming my laps, about half way through I feel like quitting when I think about my wife being gone and I don't know what the future holds.

But I don't. I keep pushing through until I finish my laps and I keep pushing through with my life and hope for a marriage restoration. The #1 thing you have to gain back is your confidence in yourself regardless of your circumstances just like Rocky did. Granted he had his wife there for support. But there was only so much she could do. He had to find it within himself to get back to the old Rocky and he did. Not only did he, but he eventually got stronger and beat Apollo on the beach run and came back to win the title again.

Let us not forget that we all have that in each of us. We are in a race that we can win. We just have to find that confidence in ourselves and push forward no matter how daunting the task might seem, no matter how much fear of the unknown we might have, and eventually, we will succeed.

Remember, God is with you. With Him for you, who can succeed against you? Nobody but you can succeed against you.

"Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one." -George Harrison

Kind of like this quote. Your previous posts made me think of it.

Thanks. Just can't give up and lose confidence and faith in yourself and God.

In my opinion, God helps those who help themselves. We have to do our part of the work if we want His help.

We can't sit around doing nothing and expect Him to do it all. Part of faith is getting up off your butt and doing everything you can while He does the rest.

Going through reading some of these threads. Yup, still depressing. It is a sad site in many cases. At least people have a good support group here that can offer tools to help people better themselves after a horrific situation.

But it just reinfornces why I backed off and I think I am in a better place for it. Coming here every day used to bring me down. I am not down every day anymore. It has been good for me to walk away and limit myself from coming here.

Life is good. There is to much going on in life to sit around at home doing nothing. Gotta get out there and experience it a little. Get some enjoyment out of it.

I am glad you are happy with where you are at.

I agree this site can get depressing but I think it is very important to "pay it forward" so to speak and help others. That is why I stay and offer what I can.

But you are right... there is so much to enjoy in life!
