NC -

I've been waiting in our beautiful accommodations that overlook the golf course. The mint is on your pillow, the champagne has been ordered - Iddy will chime in with your wings - HOPEFULLY with our lovely new board design (said dripping with sarcasm) she'll be able to insert an attachment. Is anyone else really starting to hate the color orange?

Welcome back from your holiday, and welcome to Tweenerville. I'm SO proud of you!!

No Compromises - your name says it all. This journey has been a little easier because of people like you. I'm glad to welcome you. When you look in the mirrors here in Tweenerville, it's amazing how much better you like the person looking back at you.

Much love :)

Oh Dear NC - Welcome (-:

and Welcome Back!

We've missed you around here; come to think about it, I am missing EVERYONE! Please come out come out wherever you are!

Anyway, so happy that you've arrived here in tweenerville. As others have shared, this time now marks a transition from "just" getting through one more day toward deep(re) introspection. Days here turn into weeks which turn into months as time takes on a different feel. I find I long less and less for the moments that were, and just ache to feel a new sense of 'normal'. I think these middle months, between here and supertweenerville were/are hard in a different way. They are differently painful, but made easier by surrendering yourself to the notion that there really just isn't any going back. Back never existed as we thought, what we thought was happiness at the time was just the partial experience of something much more harmful to our souls and others. And some days I still really struggle, and my 6% turns to 50% ... however, I am learning every day just what I am made of. The loneliness is still there, but I am way more present in the lives of those I love. So while there's time where he occupies too much space in my brain, I no longer let myself linger there. When I read in bed with my kids at night, I hear what they are saying, rather than wishing they'd fall asleep so I could go check for a message .... THAT, just that makes this ending totally worth it.

Much love,

TU.
