There has been SO much negativity flowing all around lately. Not just on this board, but in SO many spaces that I occupy.<p>It feels heavy, ugly and nasty. I admit that I have done my part in continuing the chaos at times. But i'd like to take this opportunity to shed that weight.<p>Wouldn't it be great if anybody who reads this thread take the time to post 1 nice thing. It can be ANYTHING!!!<p> So here's my one nice thing<p>I am a labor coach and the baby is due any second now. I can hardly wait!<p>Now it's your turn!

That is exciting Scarlett. Nothing like a baby to make us all have hope.<p>
My mom is a real fighter. After her stroke in January she astonishes everyone. At first they wanted to write her off and were refusing to authorize any rehab at all. Said the stroke was too massive and she would never gain anything back. Today she is walking with a walker and practicing solo walking. Every time a doc or rehab person tells her of a limit she gets mad at them, tells them off and conquers it. She will turn 81 on March 21. Hope we all have that much fight left in us at 81.

My house is warm, there is food in the fridge & pantry, my family is together, some of us home sick, but we have Nyquil, Ibuprofen, TheraFlu, Sudafed Cold Formula, and Tylenol.<p> [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] Yeah, a little bleak for a positive thread, but I'm thinking through the Sudafed.

Other than the fact that it is nice and sunny, Ill add MB type good news.<p>My wife agreed to goto MC (this saturday!) AND is reading SAA (without me asking)! Big steps! AND when we were hugging and looking at each other, she told me she hopes she can get to the point where she can look at me with as much love as I do with her.<p>Hoping is good! She seems inspired to actually work on the M.<p>Next! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Guess I'll take a turn. <p>I am going home for the weekend from a business trip and I am going to spend the whole weekend with WH. He wants to just stay "home" together. Those of you who don't know my story, he does not live at our house right now. He has been in an apartment with a friend since May 1, 2001. So, him tellin gme that we would spend the whole day at "home", meaning our house, meant a great deal to me. <p>Actually, there are a lot of good things happening. Spring is coming, it is beautiful outside today, I am happy to be me (it has been a long time since I could say that) and I just feel good. <p>I hope the feeling is contagious!!! Let's spread the good feelings around and get this place where it should be. We are good people trying to be better. That should make us all feel good.

Can I do two?<p>Yesterday morning I was told that a story I'd written has been accepted for publication and is scheduled for the Fall issue of the magazine.. my first ever... I've done book reviews but this is a huge step up.<p>Last night my FWH initiated a talk on our life goals and how to live in such a way that both of us get our needs met and generate synergy. An even huger step up.

My BF and I had a long talk about marriage the other night. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I'm not sure that that's a good thing. But it's certainly an interesting thing.

There are now less than 50 days before Sailorman arrives back home from his deployment! <p>Got a wonderful email from him this morning that was waiting for me when I got home from my morning walk!<p>Will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary(I know, alone, but 13 yrs is an accomplishment in today's world) on the 18th of this month. The baby will be a year old on the 19th and I will be 33 on the 30th!<p>6 months after Sailorman gets back, we will be transferring back to our home state for a minimum of 3 years!<p>Waiting on news of my neice's birth(younger sister was taken off the meds to stop her early contractions yesterday)!<p>Ok, I'll stop now! I'm just in a very happy/positive mood this morning!<p>Love,<p>tigger4

My Daughter hit rock bottom with her fight against Heroin and is now determined to be clean.
Keep her in your prayers please.

My hubby chose to end brief A and come home on his own. I never knew it had happened until it was already over. I count this as a blessing because I know HE chose to break it off because HE wanted to and not because I insisted. Thank you God for a beautiful day.

To clarify previous post, he never physically left home, just romantically.

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Katie Scarlett: Resiliant, just a Q, if you are now divorced, why would OC come and stay the weekend. I'm [img]images/icons/confused.gif" border="0[/img] <hr></blockquote><p>Valid and understandable question, Katie.<p>This is OC #1. He, his mother and her family and I are quite close. Almost 3 years ago I began a relationship with him as his step-mom (pre-separation & D), as I did OC#2. Understandably, I no longer see OC #2. <p>Ryan wants very much to continue to see me, and I, he. And his mother graciously has allowed and encouraged the relationship, unlike his father (my x-H). His mother has full custody, so has carte blanche on the decision. <p>We've had several discussions (my therapist included) on what's best for Ryan. And the concensus is, my participation in his life is beneficial to him. <p>If ever comes the time that it's not, I will back away. His happiness is my primary concern. <p>It would hurt like hell, but I would do it.<p>Jo<p>Sorry for the long answer.<p>[ March 07, 2002: Message edited by: Resilient ]</p>
