Time for a new post!

I can't believe I haven't posted in my journal since January 4!!! Pretty bad, but I will start again. My husband is recovering well now from his surgery.. the recovery period had a lot of ups and downs, which we went through together and became a lot closer. Even in long-term marriages we learn something about our mates when we are put in new situations.   I really enjoyed being the caretaker, though it was hard at times, I felt good about being able to help him as he has helped me and stood by me through thick and thin over the years.  Real love goes pretty deep and when things are painful, that's when you really realize it. Giving to him instead of putting my time in at the casinos has been a positive change. :] I haven't been making any "donations" lately, and I feel proud of that.  Thanks to DS and some renewed determination. Hugs to all,Smokeygirl
