Bodhi out :)

Good morning EAS family :) I'm heading out tomorrow with the kiddos to Disney. The Dramamine is packed and I'm ready for the Tower of Terror, the Rock 'n Roller Coaster and all the other crazy rides. No checking my phone all the time like the last few years - I'll be 100% present and accounted for with my kids and I'm looking forward to it.

Last week was stressful getting everything as "in order" as I could with work. Add to that some RL stuff, and I did break down and cry a few times. Those were the times I used to long for xAP to hold me and take care of me. It would lead to horrible, resentful feelings. Thoughts of him still crossed my mind, but nothing like before. I'm strong, this is my life, and I'm holding the steering wheel - with the best group of co-pilots and navigators I could ask for :)

AND if you noticed my new avatar, dear TU realized for the other day that I was living in her back yard as a beautiful Maple tree!

I love your avatar!!

I hope you thoroughly enjoy this time away with just you and your precious children. They will appreciate having 100% of their Mom available to them.

I know what you mean about there still being a tiny tendency to lean toward xAP when things get tough. I felt a little like that yesterday (after a fantastic Saturday with hubby), but I was amazed how quickly I was able to identify the feeling, where it was really coming from, and then shaking it off.

Oct. 12, 2010 -- began my personal search and rescue mission.

Hey Bodhi!
Enjoy the ride! All of it...all 100% of you. I am so proud of you for how well that ship has been steered.

We will sure miss you while you are gone, but as Alwayst said, the images of you smiling so wide with your kids is enough to keep us all affair free for another week.

Oh, and love the new look....though the leaf was so classic! ;)

Much love and safe travels my dear friend. You deserve every moment of it!
peace&light
