Day 5 Friday oct 24

Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from thier perspective only.

the journaling
what things did your spouse point out about you that need your attention? how did you handle hearing it? what do you plan to do to improve these areas?

Hey Girl,

I know you are down. Allow yourself to be so. Just don't let it drag on. Set a time limit and have a pity party but when the time is up, pick yourself up and dust off.

I wanted to share an email that I received last week. I have been holding on to it knowing that I would share it with someone some day. I think that someone is you, today.

Today's message:
"After"
By Bob Perks

I, like most of you throughout the world, am worried. Everyday brings more gloomy news about the financial future of every country on Earth.

I woke up this morning and decided that I need to take my focus off of now and look to what's ahead. I have been down and desperate many times in my life. I have been lost and out of control. But every time
something bad happened it always ended up good.

So it got me thinking about what things will be like "after" we get back up on our feet again.

After the down there's always an up.

After the leaving there's a return.

After the rain you always find the sun.

After the pain there is joy.

After the trip there may be a fall, but after the fall there's a stand up.

After the end is a new beginning.

After the stop there's a go.

After a sunset is always a rise.

After the night there is day.

After the clouds there are always blue skies.

After the door closes another one opens.

After a wrong there's a right.

After the loss there's a win.

After the sad there's happy.

So...here's the poet in me...

No matter what you are going through or how much you hurt,
I want you to know what's ahead.
There's always an after that follows before and eternity after you're dead.

Smile!
We'll get through this together.

"I believe in you!"
