I am grateful that there are people here who understand and offer encouragement. Been a rough year for me. Praying things turn around soon. I think that breaking someone's heart should be illegal!

I am buying the first round for all those here.

Feeling happy here..:)

I'm feeling like I'm getting to be in a pretty good place finally. I like my life, am working toward some goals to improve the career path, and am finally getting ready to start dating. I'm a bit unsure about that, still triggered here and there, but overall- I'm getting there :-)

Ok, true confessions time...while I've been noticing guys' butt cheeks, I've also been missing my exS, yes, the guy who was so abusive to me, I really miss him...a lot today and yesterday.

I'm none too happy about it, in fact, I'm kinda sad about it.

and I've got the second round.

Feeling happy and so incredibly blessed today. Life is good!! Im reflecting on some serious gratitude right about now.

Wow Joy. That song totally made me cry....again! Round 3........

ya, I've gotta stop listening to it now

It could be a good year.

I started it in my own [rented] place [moved in last October] and I'm planning to purchase a place & move again soon.

I was offered a job in March & it's working out well.

I am more connected to my son than ever before. The number of shared activities & interests grows weekly.

I am lowering my defenses and viewing women as desirable again.

I don't miss my marriage as much as I used to. I crave a new union with a new person.

Joy-
Imagine your exS's face on a carton of milk. Now, you decided that milk had gone bad a long time ago but you put it back in the 'fridge anyway. Today, take that carton of sour. rancid milk out and take a big drink!

Isn't that gooood? No? Really? No. You're sure? Okay, 'no' is the right answer BTW. You are suffering memory loss on a monumental scale if you are missing him for more than a few seconds before your alarm bells go off.

Better go get that MRI to see which aneurysm exploded.

hahaha this particular artery ruptures every month or two
but don't worry about me, it only lasts a short amount of time
and then it goes away again

but if you have a cushy tushy
c'mon over

This round is on me.

...and here's some money for the jukebox.

nice one Tossed :D

I am still pretty confused by what has happened in my life. That a person I was in a ten month relationship with could continue to have such an effect on me. It doesn't make sense that it still has a hold on me almost six months after it ended. Sure we had danced in and out for a bit, still battling to complete the letting go process for a few months, but I still feel off-kilter...unsure of myself and unable to get centered for long enough time that I feel returned to myself. I can't be with anyone if I can't return to myself. I am just so sad at this moment that it lingers...I think I really loved her that deeply and it just seems like such an incredibe waste.
