I don't post much, but read a lot. My A started as an open marriage... both her H and mine knew and were ok with it.

Hi Belle,


I really like that saying. Simple and to the point. Thank you

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

A very nice poem Blue Belle, thank you for posting it.

I see that it's still difficult for you in the absence of your xAP. That's normal considering the things you shared. It's unfortunate that the friendship line was crossed and you are left with only memories. I'm not telling you anything new...it will take time to get over this and it will always be a part of your lifestory, but you will find your way eventually. It's YOUR creativity after all, not something that's dependent on anyone else. Focus on the things that will bring it out from it's hiding place.

good luck to you,
NewDawn

That was an awesome thing to post...I hear it calling to go to the Healing Library.


you still have the creativeness in you hun...it is there dormant..held in by hurt and longing. One day it will melt away and come pouring out of you. Maybe that hurt and longing could be the way to unblock it. Harness it and let it come out in your creativeness. Maybe working through it will help it to change into a new outlook, a new horizon, a new direction.


Hang on hun! :)


Hope
