Seems like there's been a bit of negativity on this board the past couple of days. Negativity about ourselves, our xaps, other posters. I have a suggestion: Let's kick negativity to the curb today!!
I am going to ask a couple questions and would love everyone to answer:
1. What's been the best thing about ending your A?
2. What are the three top things you are grateful for today?
3. What are your three favorite drinks?
4. What are you most looking forward to next week, then next month?
5. Name three adjectives that best describe you.
6. What do you love and admire most about yourself?
I'll start....
1. Ending the A has given me back a sense of direction and control. I am no longer distracted (well, make that not AS distracted) in my RL as I was when I was deep into the A and thinking about him every freakin' waking second of my life! What a waste of time!!
2. I am grateful that the shoes I'm wearing are not hurting my feet today. I am grateful that people trust me (ironic, I know). I am grateful I have a loving, healthy family.
3. Grey Goose and soda with a twist of lime; Corona beer; Diet coke.
4. Having only one meeting scheduled

Thank goodness for bringing some positivity to this board.
1. What's been the best thing about ending your A?
I was that single, pitiful girl who walked around feeling grimy every day hoping that no one found out I was sleeping with a MM. I was so paranoid all the time.

My faith in God, my beautiful baby, my wonderful husband

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.
