Thanks, JL! they were very therapeutic! <P>Last night the C hit the target by telling me I feel responsible for the major changes and am forgetting H and I decided this together. He was "right on the money" ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/wink.gif) <P>I am feeling excited. H got a job! It still is hard to leave a lifetime of belonging but in many ways I am healing and not in a bitter way but hardening up against the rejection my old life/thought pattern brought. And the friends and family remain and happy memories do emerge.<P>Thanks again. You are such a tremendous help and inspiration to me!

I think I like this one better than the other one. The Lord's jar - neat analogy. I hope my worries and fears are in there, too. <P>I thought about writing a poem too, but brevity was never really a strong suit for me! I'm more of the James Michener - novel writing - type!

SKM, my two very favorite people here wrote back on this poem--yay! ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <P>You and I are both the novel-type writers, and I'm glad. You are more than an inspiration to me. Thank you!
