Well, today is the one year anniversary of my first post. I am almost embarrassed by the number of posts I have under my belt, but considering I went through countless ddays in the past year and the birth of an OC I guess it makes sense. We won't even mention the fun posts in Idiotville <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I just wanted to say how grateful I am to this forum and the wonderful people who post here. The amount of personal growth I have experienced in the past year is astounding. I also have made some amazing friends who I have not even met in person but mean the world to me.

Even if my M does not make it and right now I do believe it will, I now carry information that will help me in any future relationships. The MB philosophies have even helped me with my R with my precious kiddos. Thanks again to all of you.

Dear Faithful,

Congratulations on becoming a better and stronger person. It takes a lot to accomplish that even when the odds are stacked against you.

While the benefits of MB are obvious, the results to your life are t/b credited by what you have learned and applied. Give yourself a pat on the back for your effort. It has not gone unnoticed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Now go do something fun for yourself. Right now we are watching the grand prix in San Jose CA. My H is just besides himself because his BIL is at the races and has free tickets. LOL!!! He lived in San Jose most of his life and missed this opportunity. But he has us. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hugz,
L.

Thanks, Nerly. Hope I get to meet you IRL. Orchid, tell your DH I would rather be in HI with you than in hot San Jose any day! Just enjoying my kiddos today it is too hot to be outside even here in La La Land. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
