Hello People!

I'm finding that as I list my daily positives, it's the little things that my husband does that makes me feel special.

We are still hitting some rough patches but we are learning how to communicate and treat each other with love, respect, and compassion.

We've now been living together for almost 2 months and I'm very pleased with our relationship.

Here are the links to my old threads:

Phoenix In Training

He Upgraded our Date to Dinner and a Movie! Now What?

Staying Focused!

Wow! This is where I belong!

Time to Start Living

I Received 2 kisses and a call the next morning!

My Monkey is reading Divorce Remedy!

Meet In the Middle

HomeWarming Party for Phoenix In Bloom

Solid As a Rock, Safe Within the Harbor

Just a little light reading! Lol.

Hugs all!

LL,

You are absolutely right.

This is one of the things I struggled with in the begining...knowing that I was special and treating myself that way.

Something I still need to work on!

Thanks for being #1 LL!!

Hugs!

Thanks Pam!

Actually, seeing all my titles lined up like that...it looks like things didn't start improving UNTIL I began to focus on making a life for myself.

Interesting!!

Hugs!

pib,

why do you think it's interesting? that after all is the premis of dbing isn't it? get a life for yourself, make yourself happy, improve your life for you and IF they come back (or the r improves) well that's just a bonus? of course the hard part is believing that everything will be ok and you can be happy no matter what...all you got to do is decide to be.

You are absolutely right, LL!

If I'd have tried to explain this to the scared girl I was back at the begining of my path, that scared girl would not have believed that by focusing on herself and making herself happy, and getting herself a life would improve her relationship. She was under the false impression that if she loved her husband, she'd put him first over herself.

It's been a long journey to realize that by filling my cup to the point that it overflows and splashes others is the only way to go! Versus, draining my cup to splash others and then not being able to splash anyone including myself.

Huge lessons learned here!

Hugs!

That's the biggest hurdle all newcomers have a tough time getting over and most of us don't realize jumped it until we find ourselves on the other side ... then the light bulb goes off ... This stuff really does work!

Keep those postives coming ... you truly are an inspiration!

'til later,
KAW
