Hi, all

I'm new to this forum and new to this user name, but not to the MB board. It's been a long time since I posted, and my lurking has moved from the EN forum, to the Infidelity forums, to here. I guess that tells you a little about my life recently, but I'll leave it at that for now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I just thought I'd check in and see if I could get a hug. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Thanks, kily

I always say a good cyberhug is better than no hug at all. Well, I don't really always say that...but I going to start! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Seriously, its good to know compassionate people are out there. Thanks!

Well D, Welcome!!!

I am not huggy type of person, but wanted to welcome you!!! You will find a lot of support here. Most of us started out on other boards too and this is where we find ourselves at this time. Not that that is good or bad. We all have our own stories and histories, similiar but different!!! Perhaps we did not recover our marriages, but we have recovered or are recovering ourselves as a person!! So there are a lot of strong people out there that are willing to share and pass their strength on to others, there is lots of love to be had here!!!

So any ways welcome!!!!

daybreak and Mr. Harold – thanks for the welcome, kind words, and hugz!

kily – I’m feeling strong today which is an improvement. Thanks for asking! I’ve planned an upbeat weekend getting things done around the house and I’m hoping to feel like I’ve accomplished the most important things on my to-do-list. That always makes me feel good. How are you today?

Hmmm - light and carefree. I think that will take me a while. A few years, perhaps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

You may be surprised at the speed at which you can achieve "light & carefree".
Sometimes, we just need to "let go" of our worries & concerns for a while. In many cases, there is nothing that we can do, but these worries affect us a great deal. So we can choose not to worry for a while. And realize the good feelings. And the next time you may "not worry" even longer.

Just a thought.

newly - thanks for your thoughts. I know the feeling will happen and it will not happen on a specific time table...I'm just hoping to avoid setting myself up for disappointment by expecting it too soon. One day I'll just realize its there and I will be content.

You know, by changing the dates of the info listed in your signature line, it could become my signature line. Well, except the part about the kids... Are they precious?
