I'm mainly a lurker now when I have the chance to even get on but I wanted to share with all of those that are stilling going through the fog that the WS goes through, to keep going. It's been a little over a year since d-day and as Edwin McCain once said, "I couldn't ask for more"!!! H and I are doing well and so are our children. Daugther starts college Monday, that still blows my mind!!!

New job is wonderful. I feel as if God picked out the one place that I needed to be in order to thrive. I work on the 9th floor, which is quite a switch from the ground floor that I worked at in other building for 17 years. New office has a fantastic view of the city and I am so humbled by the fact that God opened this door for me!!

I wanted to take an opportunity to say how very grateful I am to all the BS and WS out there that have been there for me over the last year and a half. I have gotten so much from this website and the wonderful people who post here. I won't even try to name any names because I would be afraid of leaving someone out.

This website is such an awesome forum to obtain guidance for this journey and a few very much needed 2 x 4's as well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> A true friend will tell you the truth and as much as the truth can hurt at times, the WS needs that input when it's given in a spirit of love.

This isn't by any means goodbye. I will be checking in occasionally to see how everyone is doing but I just wanted to give credit where credit is due.

Thank you all so much and God bless!!!

Lisa,

Thanks for the update. So glad to hear the new position is "wonderful". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

IT is indeed a Blessing when things just seem to fit perfectly & fall right into place.

Because even though you needed to go & were Ready to start over.....you just Never "know" UNTIL you are actually there.
Very happy to its going so well for you (as one of the persons routing for you to go there).
Imagine how awful I'd feel if you told us it wasn't working out and you regretted EVER making this move? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" /> OHH BOY!

Always love to hear of positive and successful endings (but I guess this is really just the beginning, HUH?)
In any case, great news that its all working out....just how you envisioned it.

Also thanks for letting us know you are basically in "stealth" mode these days.
It keeps our minds from worrying and wondering is something wrong or has something happened to you. (With job or life or anything else).

Truly hope that this change of scenery is also having a positive effect on your M as well.
We know it must be doing wonders for YOU personally.
Imagine that, just being able to go to work and actually "Work"..... without all the "extra" crap always in the background.
It must seem like heaven. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Keep it up...stay happy....contiunued success..........and Great going! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
till next time

Lisa
Congratulations! You are such an inspiration to the rest of us.

You have shown that the difficult process of reconciliation has given you the opportunity to reclaim more than your M - you have reclaimed yourself.

We are defined by our actions. The locked thread from the troll shows that some WS, like those of that site, are selfish, almost sociopathic in their nature. You have shown a compassionate, caring and moral side. You have faced up to the wrongs you have committed, and made amends. Your actions say that you are a strong and noble person.

You have also shown how important it is for the WS to take the lead role in recovery, and how rewarding it is to do so.

I wish you the best. I wish you a life of contentment and joy. I wish you a life of true love and admiration from your H and family. You deserve it.

Lisa
Thanks for being a part of this place. We have to be grateful that we have gotten this far. The world view of infidelity is so far from the truth. It is very troubling to see that 75% of marriages are hit by affairs. I really believe if people could see the truth and pain involved, they would choose any other path.

Thanks again Lisa for your example and courage,

Roman

Lisa,

I am really happy for you. I also wanted to be sure to thank you for your posts to me.

You came around when I was truly at rock bottom, and you shared some painful things to help me.

It really meant alot!

Blessings on your new job,

RAP

Lisa103,
I'm primarily a lurker these days also. I'm glad for you that everything seems to be clicking.

Just remember I have a 2x4 here with your name on it if you need it. The 2x4 is well worn from your early days here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Mac

How does your reflection look in the mirror these days little gal?

Pretty darn good I say! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Pep

Hey Mac, you little lurker you - how are you doing now?

I notice you haven't become a resident of Idiotville - your humour would be very welcome there. I like to think of it as our "joy of recovery" thread. I'm editing this bit because it's insensitive to those on there who are still struggling. Make that our "we'll all get through this and come out better people" thread.
