WATERMELON!!!!! LOL! Everyone in the group got the biggest kick out of it. Can't find them at home but at the cabin at a little store around the corner they keep them! Email the address and I will have to send you some. I'm going back up this weekend. Just can't stand to stay at home! Go where the water is warm and lovin is good, and worries are few. And POP ROCKS can be found! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Oh and new PJ's didn't hurt either! I miss my boat and I just have to go make sure its ok. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hey - Guess what I found ladies (watermelon & strawberry)?????

H & I have a "date" on Sunday, looking forward to that, didn't say a word about "the day" on Wed. things have been good, & I know it is cuz of me, thinking differently & acting differently. More importantly praying & thinking b4 I speak.

Change is the key ladies - change yourselves that is all u can do, it is not easy but the reward will be worth the work & it will help H come out of the fog & even if it doesn't it will help YOU deal with YOU & whatever the future may hold.

Keep praying ladies & stay strong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

BBGY-it is hard to have to change us when it isn't just us but we do need to change and we have to be the bigger person and do it first.

BBGY- would love to email you at home.

Albany,

I lost my original post but KT said it all in this statement at least for me & my situation,

[QUOTE] If you are willing ot accept things then CHANGE your attitude becuase that is the ONLY thing you can change. YOu cannot change your H! BUT you certainly CAN change your self. [QUOTE]

I know is is soooooo hard to change & it is not fair but what is the alternative? I have noticed when I re-act differently to H's actions & words he in turen re-acts differently to me, there is no LBing, or big screaming matches. I am tired & after 2 yrs. of going around in circles w/ H I can't do it anymore. So since I am not willing to end my M I have to try something different.

If I can do it u can too, my email is brenda4everblessed@yahoo.com

I know it will if you keep up with the change in you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I will have you on my mind this weekend. Too bad your not close enough to come to the "Love shack" ! LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> We would have a great time on the lake and H's will see that they are not the "only" ones too. See ya. Man work is slow today! Glad I have ya to talk at.

Hey, BBYG

Just checking in on you. How are you? I am glad that everything has been going good for you. I hope that everything will continue to. I know what you mean about change I have vowed to change myself and let the chips fall wherever God wants them to. I feel so at peace for just allowing myself to be different - better. I have been doing good for the last day or so. I do feel peace as well. I am going to let it lead me and me not be the angry bitter person that I have been.

I hope your H loves the new you and I hope you do too!!

Keep Praying,

And don't forget to join the pix group as I will as well.

Hey JT,

Things have been good, quiet, we had our "date" on Sunday, saw a movie didn't talk much he was quiet so I was 2 pretty much. He is working a lot & very tired these days, so I have been attentive & QUIET. He is a little more talkative when he comes home from work at nite which is a BIG change.

Trying 2 pray more 4 myself & H 4 God to make the changes he deems appropriate 4 our lives & our M.

Found some peace & working toward keeping it. I know if I change my attitude & lean on God this will turn around. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I am so glad and proud of you. I know that this will make a change in your life. It will be positive I am sure.

I am enjoying peace also and in looking back that is what you girls have been telling me all along. I have decided to let go and let God.

Be Blessed,

JT

So glad that you had a good evening. Sounds like little positive baby steps.

My H did tell me to have a great night last night--he was working. My mom and I took my son to the county fair.

I'm praying for you BBGY--you deserve this to work.

Albany,

Thanks so much 4 your prayers, WE ALL deserve this 2 work & I am praying it does.

I am excited but cautious cuz we have a looonnngggg way 2 go as far as being in true recovery. I know putting less pressure on him to fix everything now, is working & of course working on ME & taking the focus off trying to change him is the best & only thing left 4 me 2 try at this point, I am just trying 2 maintain my peace of mind & more importantly trust God 2 work this out 4 my good.
