River Rain Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Hey River Rain, Wasn't it just a couple of days ago that you were posting about being in so much pain? Wasn't this pain fresh? Shouldn't you be off by yourself healing and grieving and getting stronger? Just wondering.... We officially broke up about 2 weeks ago, but it was over 5 weeks ago, so I went through a lot of the grieving process over the 5 week period. And yes, I probably did have a setback last week when I posted my pain. This is how I get stronger. I'm a big believer in leaving the past hurts behind once I grieve the loss. Plus, I did a lot of self-reflection over the last month and realized a lot of things I didn't like about the ex, kind of put things into perspective. I was missing the idea of "us" rather than him. Thanks for asking, I know we all have our own ways, but this is really good for me And on that note, I'm thankful for this morning's message from New Guy, made me smile
River Rain Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 SOAP OPERAS I used to be addicted to General Hospital, that was difficult to ween off from! I'm thankful for horror movies and candlelight!

Author CopingGal Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 After 13 months, I decided to open myself up to the possibility of dating. I met someone who lives over 1,000 miles away. It may not work, but I'm having a nice time communicating with him via email. 1
PYTpisces Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Today Im thankful that the book I ordered, "Taming Your Outer Child" came in the mail. I'm thankful for having the strength and courage to embark on this journey of self-discovery. Also, thankful for "ex" 's best friend for responding to the email I sent a couple weeks back when I was panicking ...looking for his a-hole friend. By ignoring it, I got to show myself just how strong I can be. In the past, I would have succumbed to weakness and responded. Now, I've got my eyes on the prize and will never support or entertain such poor character from anyone. 1

PYTpisces Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Being given another day to prove to myself that I can be strong and NOT chase after someone who so coldly devalued and disrespected me. Old me would have ran after him. New me is saying no and refusing to give in even when every fiber of my being is resisting. Thank You God for walking me through this. 1

PYTpisces Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 This quote: "strength to endure the pain. Wisdom to think things through. Courage to face the fears", and having kept the faith to stick to this path I'm on, though uncomfortable and less than what I hoped for. Being in "his" city and having the strength to resist reaching out and putting myself in check when I feel weak. Having an awesome night last night with family and one of my best girl friends.
