Just going to put this here as a bit of journaling to myself. This week I am at our timeshare. Of course many memories of when we both enjoyed this together.

This morning was 180 degrees from the now. Started with a stunner (bad) and throughout the day met and made 3 new friends with two girl dates coming up this week. Started an online Spanish class. Getting out and moving is my tonic. A little bit tough as I’m an introvert but I’m doing it.

Love you new pic! I like visualizing each member as we “talk.” I still would love to have a big, huge conference in Kansas City and meet everyone in the flesh!

That would be great! I’m just south of KC!

God knows we tried…..too too long. Thanks for this lifeline!
That is a great step forward! I know that feeling exactly. So often after divorce, we just remember those times they were charming and agreeable … and forget the times they embarrassed us or made us feel terrible on the way home, or ruined the occasion for every one. That is real progress when you are realistic about how one-sided your…[Read more]
