    Teejay-

    Omg. .your post really, really touched me. Tears literally welled in my eyes. That was incredibly sweet. Rarely has a personal post touched me like that.

    XJW-

    And i find when I am feeling good, I actually post here more.

    I guess with me, I am happiest when I am busy. When I'm busy I don't post as much.

    Flower-

    Very liberating! I think that me being able to let go of this emotional baggage is the primary reason for my good cheer.

    Smack-

    Some people probably think 4 or 5 hours isn't very much; but you know me better than most, and you can understand what a big deal it is.

    ((shera))

    MrMoe-

    You are so weird . . I luv ya though!!

    Gumby -

    I am going to save this post of yours however, and when you get in a pissy mood again......I'm going to show this to you over and over and over

    Good! I'll need it!!

    It's been a few days since I've told you how much I adore you, so allow me to now: I adore you!

    Yay Bridget!! I'm so happy for you!

    I completely understand about temporarily shunning some family members. It worked for us when having even limited communication was incredibly depressing.

    I'm so glad you are going to try and get back to school sooner.... I know how much you have missed it.

    We are doing much better than we were a year ago when we left the org. We have made "worldly" friends...even some really great ones here on JWD. We barely give a second thought any more to what the dubs think of us. I hated how I worried so much about what they thought when we first left the org. My wife's emotional state has improved overall since we left the org. And the temporary shunning of her family has worked and now they don't make her feel like complete garbage when they have their occasional chat.

    I'm glad that you aren't so dependent on JWD, but I hope for my own selfish reasons that you never permanently leave!

    Way to go! That was a nice upbuilding post.

    Terrific, SP!!!! It takes a little time to settle into a new place but it sounds like it's becoming very positive for you.

    Love,

    I'm posting this just because it is my favorite poem. . .and it always brings a smile to my face:

    The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

    Glad to hear things are changing for you. To honor the peaks and valley's of one's journey.

    I do wish you well.

    SP,

    I love hearing that you are happy! I must say, I knew as soon as you settled in, and those around you got to see your wonderful spirit and vibe, it would be just a matter of time before your hours were filled with friends and activities.

    As for posting here, for some people, this place is like a support group. You need it really desperately at first, then not so much, then only occasionally. While I certainly would hate to see you leave forever, I really believe we have made enough of a connection that we won't lose contact forever.

    You have all my information, please don't lose it. Keep my updated on all the wonderful things that will definitely be happening to you.

    Smooches,

    Happyout

    ps And yes, I have been happy also. With a wonderful son and an improving husband life is good (knocks earnestly on wooden desk)

    Great news. I tend to forget what that first year or so was, having been out for over 7 years.

    happyout:, I'm happyin...side for you as well

    And yes, I have been happy also. With a wonderful son and an improving husband life is good

    Bridge,

    Oh yes! I hope you didn?t think by what I said about you leaving here that you THINK you?ll be done with ol? teejay. Oh contraire, mon frere! You?ll have to do a bit more work than that to be ridda me, Lil Sis. I got the digits (ain?t that what you young folks say?) and I know where you bees livin?.

    p.s. sister Happyout, you spoke of ?an improving husband.? What?s that about? Just curious: have you ever met Waiting? Sounds an awful lot like her.

    Women!
