Today is a good day. I haven't felt genuinely happy for a long time. I would have ranked it higher if I didn't have to work (probably lower if it was Monday). The weather in Chicago today is very nice - 72. I work in the Sears Tower and on this clear day you can see for miles. We'll have our little nephew for the weekend and I'm anxious to see him.
FWW (Undo) and I have made a lot of progress over the past few months and lastnight was especially good. We had a great talk that really did a lot of good and we both feel very happy. She's always had problems communicating and it was a huge breakthrough. She opened up about her feelings and it was good to hear. We both shared our feelings and we went to bed with a smile.
Not everyday is going to be good but it's days like this that make us appreciate the hard work we have done. It finally makes sense... this is what we are trying to achieve - happiness and love for each other.
I realize that not all days are going to be this good, but at least I have a brighter outlook for what we are working for and it makes me look forward to tomorrow rather than dwelling on yesterday.

Boy those good days are the best. I believe that the b/s feelings are intensified when it comes to happiness and joy. Just as they are intense in heart ache and pain.
The sun seems to shine a little brighter after the storm.
I am so happy for you.
In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.
