Hey all,

Well, before I head off until the 10th, I thought I'd just say... Bye!

This isn't nearly as long a vacation to be alone that I was hoping for... I was seriously thinking about a 3 week trekking expedition in Nepal or something... but alas... can't be swung. Instead, I'm heading to Vancouver Island for some camping...

I've had some thoughts on the brain lately... finding them harder and harder to shake. They're telling me that it's honestly time to move on... I know, I know... it's only been a month of Plan B... but maybe I left it too late... I don't know. It's not just anger talking... I'm really very calm about it. It's something else... I've really got to be alone, with nature around me - to think and process my feelings more.

I have an inkling that this trip back home will only intensify my desire to move back ASAP. I've got a session with Steve on the 10th, so the timing is good. I'll also get into IC/MC within days of my return too, I believe. It's time to talk turkey here... I'm starting to see things very differently.

I'll provide an update - likely an interesting one - later. Have a good week(end)!

Have a great time JR....I sometimes feel like I need to do that also. I would love to go camping and get my thoughts together. Be safe and have a great trip. Pat

I think your trip sounds wonderful! And your Plan B acceptance is good too. It's a natural result I think. The love bank is almost empty... and life is out there waiting...

But, you are right in realizing that "hey - it's only been a month of Plan B". Your vacation, and your call to Steve will help you ensure you're on the right track for YOU, but I do hope you'll hang on to Faith and Hope a little longer.

We'll miss you while you're gone!! Have fun!!

JR,

A week of camping on Vancouver Island in the summer. Let me see, is there a prettier place to be on this planet???? I have my doubts. Enjoy your time there JR. I am sure it will do you good. Heck it would do me good to be able to do that. I am envious.

Take care, enjoy yourself, and have patience.

God Bless,

JL

Have a great trip. Being with Mother Nature in a beautiful place is very healing and relaxing. The right answer will come if you put it in God's hands.

(((((Enjoy)))))
