Life's pleasures........

After being in an A for so long and slowly climbing out of the hole I realized how bored with my life I had become before the A, and how during the A it was everything about XAP that was sustaining me.

Great topic!


I love to be outside and working in the yard...

Rediscovering my little life's pleasures was a sweet reward for ending the affair. I spent so many hours and sometimes full days searching and writing to xAP, my life outside of him barely existed.


I might still spend time on my 'puter, but I'm doing what pleases me now. I'm here at EAS or surfing the net looking at things that interest me.


I love piddling around my home - moving things around and redecorating. I love to walk outside, sit by the pool and enjoy the serenity, listen to the birds. Many times while out there, I will tell myself how lucky I was to realize what I had and could have lost.


I enjoy meeting my girlfriend and spending the day shopping, checking out the new clothes, attempting to make ourselves look younger. ha ha!!


I love to cook and have reconnected with that part of myself. My cookbook collection is insane and I am enjoying them once again.


H and I are busy planning trips and little getaways. It will be nice to go and not worry about xAP or worry that I missed one of his business trips in my area. And it is a relief that we are planning trips where H and myself want to visit. In the past, if xAP went there, I wanted to go too. (with H) Can you imagine the angst and cloud hanging over my head during those trips!! Now, I will be able to enjoy them fully with H.


Outta the fog and enjoying the clear air !!
