Interesting.

True story in my case - maybe not for everyone. I guess at the point when he finally admitted it I had already made so many changes in myself and knew I was worthy of better. The fact that he could do that to me after I had done so much personal work towards myself and work towards our marriage and lie to my face - and plan and scheme... well.... it just made me see him in a different light: a none too flattering one.

Yes...you choose how different.

You choose how to look at it

You choose how to respond to it

You choose how to receive it

You choose how to deal with it

You choose when "it" happens

You choose

Everything is your choice - other may say...everything is based on the perspective that you are looking at it from.

So what are your plans for the rest of the week?

Eric

SLEEEEP!

LOL

I have 2 sick boys at home - sleep has been at a minimum. YES, they are older but it doesn't matter. They want mom to pamper them, esp. with things as are and so I do, of course. :-)

I have a lot on the schedule this week with dr's appts, school, boys' activities, counseling appt., and a house that needs cleaned and a fridge that needs repaired. In other words, I've got plenty to keep me busy! OH: also a few things for myself - lunch with friends, my Wed. ladies class, and a term paper to keep me VERY busy!

I also have some football to watch but none of my teams are doing very well right now. :-(

On the serious side - I know you're right: I choose how it is different. I just meant that I didn't want to go through the process of all of it - being lazy. :-) It's just the tiredness talking... but man, it IS mentally exhausting at times! Sometimes you just want to "be" rather than "be different" and you have to fight it.

"Fight it" you must. Tired? Hey, when your six feet under you can rest. Get to it girl. LOL. I know how tough this is BUT you really should be proud of yourself.
