Good morning everyone, how are you today? I know you're hurting and full of unanswered questions and regrets but I promise you it will get better. When you're feeling down and things are getting to be too much for you think about your happy place. That one place you can always go to that just makes everything better. For me, my happy place is my daughter, so when things get to be too much for me to bare I think about my daughter and something we did together, it removes the images and pain. Even if only for a moment, it's a start. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, overcoming an affair is your journey of a thousand miles and deciding you're going to beat this is the first step. How will you take your first step today?
I'm actually in a pretty good mood today. I woke up and got the kids off to school... looked in the mirror and my hair was a mess. I got out the flat iron and began to style my hair for the first time in a month. No ponytail today! Then... I just kept going.... I finished my hair and started to put on makeup.... then I changed into something nicer... My work buddies are all questioning why I'm all dolled up. I told them, "The sun is shining, it's a beautiful morning, and I'm feeling beautiful today!" That shut them up!! I refuse to let anything bring me down today!!!!
@trikel your hair was not a mess. It was in style that you didn’t like lol. Glad to read your good happy words this morning.
2 days still going strong. No outbursts or fighting. Trying to control myself and quiet the painful thoughts. I have been ok not great but I'm working in it.
@Meg2014 You are doing fantastic, Meg!! Two days!! It took us about 7 months to go two peaceful whole days!! It is NOT how I would have done it in retrospect… I would have intentionally had more peaceful days. But live and learn… Xx
