Getting nervous 

     I never do anything important without giving myself a deadline.  Otherwise I would just keep putting things off.  I decided that Friday is the day that I need to talk to my husband about living separately.  Heck, I need to talk to him about just about everything I write about here.  Maybe a little less harshly, but...you get the idea.  I dread this.  I hate confrontation.  I am fine with it at work.  It's not my favorite thing to do, but I face my fears and get in there.  If I see a 250 pound paranoid schizophrenic being verbally abusive to someone, I stroll on over and tell them to get under control or pack their bags.  I offer to help them pack.  At work, I can pretend to be strong and it usually gets results.  At home I just give up.

 

     D is off from work on Friday, so he will have time to deal with this without having to put on a happy face and go into work.  That's why I picked Friday. He can slam doors, get drunk, whatever.  I just wish it was over with already.  Try to send me good thoughts on Friday.  I could use it.

I chickened out anyway.  We were having a pleasant day together and I hated the thought of ruining it when we could just as easily talk on Saturday or Sunday.  I hate being such a wimp about this.  Kevin, thanks for your thoughts on this.  I keep thinking about there being "no happiness without action".  I have been thinking this through for over a year now.  It's about time for me to do something.  D is at a housewarming party right now.  His friends, not mine.  He suggested that I show up there after getting off work at midnight.  I just could not do it.  I am sick of putting on my happy face for the two of us to go somewhere as a couple.  I end up feeling like a liar and a phony.

Happiness is a choice.  Life is too long to be miserable and too short to be happy.  Learn self-reliance as it is the greatest gift a parent can give a child.  Nothing is more difficult than to decide.  There is no happiness without action.  Hi I am Kevin and these are some of the things I have learned this year.  I am still working on it.  You work to be positive.  95% of the news is negative and only 5% is positive.  Our life is what our thoughts make it.  It is a real challenge, but think things through before you make major decisions in your life.  Be well.......................Kev
