If it keeps getting better & better!
Permalink  

If it keeps getting & better I don't know what I am going to do! I just keep remembering that it has gotten so bad over the years that I have to focus on TODAY! I am still reminiscing on the past too much. Just the other day, I was trying to remember something from the Past w/ my ex-AH. I just wanted to relive a good moment & ended up thinking of so much that I got stuck. He was in the Navy & I was trying to remember about when he re-enlisted. It was crazy but I remember what a lovely day it was & meeting the captain of the ship & all. Some memories make me feel good(especially this one) because I felt so connected & I guess patriotic.

Anyhow, enough of that! Today is good again. I am so grateful as I have been lately. I have so much to be thankful for. Life is treating me the way I want to be treated. My H is doing well especially health-wise--it is getting close to a year since he battled all his major health issues. He is 69 years old. I am only 45 but I can really see as we are getting older that we have so much in common that it is uncanny for us to be so in synch. I guess what I am trying to say is that we are so compatible these days--we finish each other's sentences. That seems kind of silly to me. I mean people say it all the time. I feel a sense of uniqueness in my relationship because of the age difference. My husband is a senior citizen. I think it is funny! I am just so happy that we are still together & fighting for our recovery. It was'nt that long ago that we were separated from each other, first physically & then legally--though we never planned to get a divorce--it is just because he was so ill mentally & we had so much to work on--for those who don't know my STORY.

Enough out of me! Thanks for being a PART of my RECOVERY!

Kathleen

ah thank you mz Kathleen for sharing this. YEP I know what you mean about memories. I am glad you are remembering good things too.

You sound great, on a healthy program.

Age never mattered much to me, it's more who we feel the best with. I wish my AH would have came back to being him. Loved hearing how you two are so close.

hugs,debilyn
