You focused on what and what happened? GTFOH!!! laugh


Well, watching old Cary Grant movies, the new fitness routine, the Zimbardo book, and making all those "gratitude lists" helped a lot laugh

When the situation began (October 2009), I was angry, I insisted that "we work on things", I begged, I reasoned, then I was just angry and sad. For a while (oct-dec) I drank too much.

Philip Zimbardo helped me learn how to focus my perspective, and Cary Grant is still teaching me how to be more playful and provocative (re flirt) while still having some "class". grin

Here's a secret: my FSTBXW (formerly STBXW) is a magical person in so many ways, and I learned how to say it and be playful and charming about it.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Yep, it was you posting links to those that inspired me to talk about buying "The Time Paradox", and through a fortunate turn of events (I had a birthday and had posted those on FB), I was gifted that book and several others smile

Countdown to Hot Springs micro vacation begins. T minus 3.5 days and counting.

W came over and spent the night Friday and Saturday. We went sight-seeing locally, went to a flea market, went and saw a movie, had Indian food for lunch, had a simple dinner here and watched a DVD, went on a long walk, and so on.

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

Great TH, I'm very glad to hear that things are looking up. It's good to be on that path, even if it's not perfect, you know that you're going there and the journey is what counts.


Accept that there is only one thing you can change in life and that is you
