The imaging that wasstubborn brought up in her thread really is working for me. The past 24 hours have been easy, I only nearly cried once yesterday out of hurt, but once out of joy.<P>H brought home an audio tape last night from this guy he knows who performs his own jazz songs. He said I want you to hear this one. So this song starts and I listen, we are in the kitchen, and he pulls me close and we start to dance. I cried a little because he was singing the song to me and here are some of the words...<P>...So here you are,<BR>My lucky star...<BR>You must have been heaven sent.<BR>For tonight heaven's missing<BR>One angel I'm kissing<BR>My dream that has really come true.<BR>I've got a pocket full of dreams<BR>And every dream is you..<P>Sigh...this is just an example of how things are going for us lately. I think we really will be ok.<P>Also H needed to call his old boss in another state, OW boss now, and he told me he hadn't because he was worried OW would pick up the phone. He needed to ask questions of this guy so I told him to call. He did, not contact with OW though he said he could hear her voice in the background. I didn't press him, but I sensed that he is over her, that he might finally be realizing that she is insignificant here.<P> <P><P>------------------<BR>Joan

Joanie, <BR>YAY for you! I'm glad for you, and we all like to hear good stuff-it gives hope, and you can reread it,when you are feeling down. Where can I get that tape?<BR>Dancing with the man you love-how romantic, doesn't it make your heart sing? Remember that when you doubt him-he's trying so hard to show you he loves you....

Pooh...the tape is homemade by a local guy. He writes his own stuff and I thought the song was wonderful.<P>------------------<BR>Joan

Good idea Kat...bringing back the positives. H and I were really on our way at this point...but the hurt was still fresh. He still does little things that steal my heart and make me grateful I stuck with the process. <P>------------------<BR>Joan

Beautiful! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>------------------<BR>Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to oust all fear. Love is meant to harmonize differences. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.
