Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Driving back from Thanksgiving dinner at relatives, I was listening to a Joel Osteen CD and this is what he said that made sense to me.
For painfull things in life that happen to you, that you just can't understand, we have to do something with this "I don't understand" item in order to move on. He recommended creating a "I don't understand" folder and then writing down on a piece of paper what you don't understand. As you put the paper into the folder, the act represents releasing this painful issue to GOD to take care of. It no longer is an item for us to ponder and analyize.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone else besides me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I hope you have a wonderful day and a very blessed Holiday season.
I spent 5 minutes clearing off my workstation this morning... de-cluttering.. sorting the important stuff...and I felt so much better.
Makes total sense to file away the stuff I don't understand to that folder. I can't deal with it now.. and well it will be okay. I don't have to have all the answers.
thanks for sharing this Rob.
Thanks Rob - great idea
Maybe I'll pick one up ofr my ex while I am there. He'll need an even bigger one :)

This is the truth and I know it because I have seen the evidence and felt the pain from it. I get hurt when (spouses name) does ____________. I only hurt because I have forgotten the truth.
That was really liberating for me!
