Maybe it is the season that has caused me to reflect on the past 16 months. Wow... what a journey it has been. I can remember last Christmas wondering how to keep putting that one foot in front of the other and not crawl back into bed. I know I said many times, if I could only go to sleep and wake up a year from now when it is over. You know what though.. I wouldn't have missed it all for anything !!
I would never have had the chance to grow, learn, reclaim my life and me. Each incident along the way taught me so much about myself and gave an opportunity to change.

For all of you starting your journies.. take heart, it does get better and so do you !!! Your life can be whatever you choose it to be, with the A or without. You alone have the power.

Progress not perfection.

Thanks for that aspiring, I need to be reminded of my progress rather than dwell on what is still left undone.

Thanks, Aspiring. I needed to hear that also. It's only been six months without my 'A' and this is my first Christmas. I can't stand it and wish it was just all over. What makes matters worse is I just celebrated a birthday a week ago, so 2 major events without him. Even though we hadn't talked in 3 months, he did call to acknowledge by b'day. I probably would have been even more upset if he hadn't. I take heart in the fact you said it gets better, so thanks for your message!
