No darts from me, either, Girlie.

I have come to a similar conclusion in my present journey. I'm going to be and do who I am, and my husband-on-paper is not going to change that, and my circumstances are not going to change that, and my illnesses are not going to change that! I'm damned well going to be the best Lil I can be... be the person God wants me to be, do the things God wants me to do, and take whatever pleasure I can in that journey. It's good for my heart to hear you doing the same in tough circumstances.

Blessings,
Lil

never threw a dart in my life [Smile]

and i'll be the first one to fight for your right to do whatever you need to do -- and support you through it all --

only you can know what's in your heart -- and where you're breaking point is -- so if you just need to scream and *&^%% to help you get through the day -- well then i think you know you found the place to do that

and i agree with you about this fast paced crazy world -- i always wonder what the hurry is -- i asked my son once (after driving with him somewhere) -- why are you in such a hurry to get to the end of the road ????? enjoy the trip [Smile]

i just wish God would tap a few other people on the shoulder -- but then -- maybe they're just too busy to notice [Smile]

amen sister...you tell um and I'll pat my foot.

Slow down and smell the coffee...unless, of course, you are Dotsie who for some unknown godly reason doesn't drink it. Go figure... [Wink]

Here's a little update on my situation. My husband went into a rehab and was there for 11 or 12 days, which was all the insurance would pay for. They were satisfied that he had enough coping skills and moral support to go on and do well without long term care. He's home now and really trying to make up for lost time. He seems to have a new level of appreciation for life and for his family, and he can't understand how I can be such a good wife when he's fallen so short of being a good husband. I don't see it that way but it's interesting the way we see ourselves. He doesn't see that almost everything was good, it was just the drug thing that makes it bad. Take that away and we fall into normal mode, complete with dancing in the kitchen.
So it will be a complete family Thanksgiving. And for that, I am thankful.
Have a wonderful day Ladies. [Wink]

Dreamrkate, so glad to hear YOU are feeling good about his recovery. Just offered up a little prayer that this Thanksgiving would be an especially great one for you and your family. [Big Grin]

(((((((((( Kate )))))))))))

i am sooooo happy for you and your family -- i truly do relate to the happiness you feel right now -- and my prayers are for your future

half the problem with addictions is feeling you dont deserve to be loved/cared for by wonderful people -- keep telling him that part of the reason you're so "wonderful" is because of him !!

my heart is full for you today [Embarrassed]

Thank you both for your wonderful thoughts and prayers! It was an absolutely wonderful day. Scott helped with all the preparation ....and getting all my huge gourd mess off the dining room table and safely in boxes out in the garage, a chore in itself. All the kids were home, with boyfriend and girlfriend. Lots of laughing and razzing around the table, coffee and a card game afterward. And the clean up went fairly quickly. We all throroughly enjoyed it. We are truly blessed.
