As usual Pep, you give us hope! and advice, very good one.
Merry Xmas!

My plan B began on dec 26th, the day of the tsunami although since I was having my own personal tsunami I only found out about the other one a couple of days later!. That day WH confessed his affair to his daughter although he called it " I made one mistake with a woman" and not "I've been having an affair with my secretary". And he still is.

It will be my 2 year plan B anniversary...but I still have hope that there will be some kind of success, just don't know what kind yet.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

thanks all MBers!

I just realized that I initially registered on Xmas Day 2002...setting the stage for D-Day- New Years Eve 2002...

It seems a zillion years ago...

How devastating....

But, in a way, such a BLESSING...

I am so much a better person, my marriage is thriving, my family is closer...

AND I have gained the opportunity of meeting WONDERFUL people like you, Pep...and continuing to FELLOWSHIP with you guys....

A STRANGER/STRANGERS..who have become CLOSER TO ME..than people that I see everyday....

Thanks for all that you have done for me, Pep...

You have been such an INSPIRATION....

These words barely reflect my feelings about you and all the folks here on this forum...

(((((PEP))))))

Love ya,

Mimi <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

~I think this song is just too beautiful~


Sarah McLachlan - Angel Lyrics

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

This is one of my favorite songs.

Peace to you.

Pep:

So that was the big day? Boxing day? The British tradition of officers sharing thier food with the enlisted men....

But your day was more physical I presume?

But 11 years.

What day do you celebrate now? Your wedding day? or another Day?

Peace to all the "lonely hearts" out there! And thanks for all your excellent advice and humor!

We celebrate D-day. Not the Wedding anniversary.

D-day was like sobriety day for me too!

I am so getting addicted to my W!

Happy day today! I raise my Diet Coke to you and Mr. Pep!
