I have to say it has been a very positive week. I’ve been busting my rear to maintain a positive outlook on life and to be vigilant in practicing my mindful activities.
This afternoon I received a random text from My Wife, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the peace we’ve had this last week and more.
Tremendous
It’s the small things in life that make it worth living. A random praise here or an affirmation there. Things I do for myself everyday, but when it comes from someone else, far, far more powerful and much more meaningful.
I put a self-imposed ultimatum upon myself at the end of last month (September). If I were to see no improvement by the end of Rocktober, I would remove myself from my family. That meant moving away and staying away; from everyone. My plan was to move out of state so I couldn’t mess with anyone anymore. THAT plan looks to be moving to File 13.
Than You God!!!
THAT was a plan I did NOT want to implement. Who knows what life would have held for me should that have gone forth?
Thankfully a few things were shown to me. I received a bit of direction and assistance that was unbelievably constructive and beneficial. From my therapist, blog commenters, a tweet here and there and a “chance” encounter with some kid I mentor at school. Funny how mentoring someone probably teaches you more than the person you mentor.
Being a former baseball coach (read: superstitious), I won’t fully describe my feelings concerning the past week. Just know I’m exceedingly pleased with the progress of the past week.
I am very, very happy for you two. May your progress continue in peace 🙂
Thanks
Let’s not go celebrating though. It’s not as if she ran to me and jumped into my arms, but compared to what had been going on…she ran to me and jumped into my arms 🙂
Thanks!
