"Hey" to you guys and gals who were there for me the past few weeks re. my need to vent and process the pain of marriage issues. Just wanted to let you know it's going better. Hubby has had some good days. He still is unreasonable when he gets stressed (like tonight) but I remind myself it is his condition and not him.

And I am soooooo loving teaching piano. I am doing more than I thought I coudl handle and managing okay, so that is encouraging for me.

Our house is still in process, with the builders having other jobs on the go now too, but we have a good relationship with the one builder and he's really good about following up on things to make sure we're happy with the work. I appreciate that a lot. So anyway, that with the house getting more complete the husband is less stressed usually.

I hope Maggie is okay. We are all thinking of you Maggie!

Cheers Jamie! Hugs Karen. Wishing peace and hope to all reading this.

Hi Embers,

I am so happy to hear all of this. Though I know you are feeling better. I am glad that you shared. It is so hard this time of year. But you are doing good. I love to hear about your students. You are a wonderful teacher. Keep us posted on how you are and how things are going.

Many gentle hugs, Karen

For sure stillme. When we are feeling up it is good to share the joy because there is always someone out there needing a smile. I was just thinking of you when I came to check the forum, and there you were, by the way. Cool!

Jamie - you get the healingwell award for best emoticon posts!!! ;0)

Maggie!! I'm so glad you wrote. I hope the new meds work. You are such a fighter. Love your determination. Some days are harder than others, but every day we get out of bed and choose to go through the day we are slaying giants.

Beagleman - thanks for posting. I know what it is to feel happy for someone and sad for yourself at the same time. No worries. It is better than being fake and trying to portray feeling something we're not. I hope for you that you will meet someone special some day. I don't doubt there is someone out there for you.

Karen - thanks for the encouragement. You always give me a lift. I remember you were pondering getting a keyboard awhile back. You know, if you ever did, I can give you lots of tips! :0) That would be FUN!

Things are still going well with the hubby. Less stress is helping. Perspective. And being willing to try. He is nicer most of the time now which is helping the most I would say! But it's a mutual thing where I've been able to judge less and have compassion more when I'm able to distance myself from the harder moments. So I'm hopeful it will stay okay, despite the ups and downs that can be expected.

Hope everyone has a good week-end,

love, embers
