Nothing from this week... though typically I don't hear from him during the week - if he sends a message, it's on Saturday morning. Friday night is the Christmas party I usually see him at, but I can't make it this year. I expect he'll send a message Sat morning asking why I wasn't there. Ho hum.

Good news is I had an osteopathic treatment on Sunday that took away my niggling residual hip pain - I have...

Hi G,

How's your week shaping up? any word or communication from ? It's a plus that contact with him isn't as stirring as it once was......slow and steady progress my friend!

I hope everything is ok with the dog's cyst. Your poor Mom......keep us posted.

Those blasted bloaty menopounds!Think of them as a sign that you are in a stage of life where you have acquired wisdom. Life has...

Hi guys!

Sorry to hear the book ideas didn't appeal to you Mys, but you are right, acceptance is indeed a key theme in one of them. If you are doing better at accepting reality, then I think that is a good thing, regardless of how you get there!

Any snow yet where you are, Cladner?

Unfortunately I did bump into on the street on Thursday, and he sent me a message yesterday, but I think I handled it a...

Good news G! We have similar weather, which is lovely as it's usually raining this time of year.

hope your free week continues!

A -free week. Last contact was Oct. 31. Let's see how long I can go this time...

Everything else OK. It's cold, windy and rainy here (and has been since we got home).

Your subconcious sounds spot on G.

Whether you have lot a few menopounds or not, I'm glad you FEEL better. Feeling better often corresponds with looking better. Staying away from that scale sounds smart.

Happy Wednesday!

Thanks C!

I think my subconscious is telling me that doesn't want to see me and is pulling away.

Forgot to tell you guys the good news - I think I have lost a couple of menopounds! I am afraid to get on the scale in case it's my imagination - but my clothes seem to be fitting a bit better.

Maybe your subconscious is telling you to walk at your own pace, G? In any race, we must run for ourselves or progress feels futile.

I hope your week is going well G!

Thanks C!

Had a smooth transition back to home and work (though the change in weather from warm sun to cold wind & rain was a bit of a shock to the system!). I had a weird dream about on the last night there. I dreamed we were walking on opposite sides of a street towards the same point, in such a way that we were going to bump into each other. But he saw me and started walking faster so as not to have to talk to me. I...

Welcome back G!

I'm glad you're having a less stressful week. I hear you with vacation "head" negativity. It's a bit like birthdays. We think we SHOULD be happy, so often reality disappoints. It's getting through those feelings when progress is made as you say.....keep getting those Saturdays!

Every Saturday that passes is a victory!

Love.

I am still on vacation - finally got internet access.

Things have been going fine here - a bit busy last week, but this week is going to be more relaxing. DH had an infection and was on antibiotics so couldn't drink, which was a nice break. Vacations are always interesting psychologically because I spend more time "in my head" - at home I am always busy, so rarely get to spend "quiet time" with myself. I often have periods of anger,...

This is just to let you know that I will be out of town on vacation *yay!* for the next two weeks, so may not be on the board much, if at all.

Take care and

Nice progress. Doesn't it take thirty days to change a habbit? Be patient with yourself.....

You're doing well!

Not bad... every time I thought of , I followed it with "did that thought make me feel better?", which in turn was followed by "no" and "let it go".

So, partial success. I will keep practicing!

Ah....I forget BC gets more fog/rain than Ontario. We get a killer winter, which i hate, so enjoy that BC mildness, G!

We do have some fall colour, but not like you do in the east. We are getting into our foggy, damp, windy time of year. Happily, a week from tomorrow I will be heading down south for 2 weeks of sunshine!

Tomorrow (Saturday) is challenge day. I am going to practice the Byron Katie approach and see how I do. Interestingly, it's worked really well on my weight and running issues. I am accepting I am at...

Do you get pretty orange, red and yellow leaves like Ontario does this time of year?

OK time for the new thread (I've deleted the old one, in case anyone is looking for it). All is well on the front. I have had some contact with him, but it's different. The landscape has shifted. I remember one of you (Mys?) asking a while back whether I had ever told him how I felt about him. Well, I did, this time (in the "it's over" message of May 4). So, even though in a way nothing has changed, everything...
