Wow... You wouldnt believe this!

Hi everyone,

its been a while since I posted because I am neck deep in my grad classes at the college. Things have really changed. Really changed a lot.

I got an email from my exA... and it started a ball rolling that is really positive and good. And I read a book that has changed my life. Its called Who Moved My Cheese.

Read this book if you can. it was so very good. it sinks in like a good dinner. just kind of contented and then deeper and deeper meaning.

its about change and how hard it is to understand. it talks about four different approaches to change. And when applied to the relationship with my ex... i realized what my mistakes were, what his mistakes were, and what i could change for me.

One of those growth moments. I realized that we have a chance at a new relationship. based upon what we both learned of our old relationship. and that all the energy i have wasted trying to remember the past was just that.. wasted. each day is new. and it talks a lot about fear. fear of change. fear of the past. fear of the future. and you dont have to let fear paralyze you.

it was such an easy story to read. took less than an hour. yet it sinks in slowly and you can apply it to work, to life, to yourself, to your program, to your recovery, and to your relationships.

i feel such a sense of renewed hope. for my ex and I. something i havent felt in a couple years. ever since i realized how serious alcoholism was. and suddenly i feel as if we are both starting together on the same page. something countless reconciliations in the past didnt have. we are truly moving forward with hope, faith and love.

get the book, devour it... then let it devour the past and its shadows... for the future is bright, and beautiful... and even in the face of alcoholism... wonderful.
