and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
Thank you all for your warm, compassionate messages. There's so much wisdom in this Sangha. I'm particularly grateful for the reminder that things don't stay the same. I'm also grateful for the reassurance that it's okay for sitting to be too difficult sometimes. Above all, I'm grateful to feel part of this Sangha. Your support and friendship means a great deal to me.
Your post struck home as well. My wife of 11 years and I were just separated for about 2 months. I was sure that it was going to end in divorce. I learned not to be sure about things so often. We reconciled 3 weeks ago and things have never been better. Sometimes that space is exactly what's needed to remember what it is that you liked so much about each other to begin with. Metta to you and your wife. Be well.
Your message made me smile - I'm happy to hear you found a way to work things out.
I'm trying to maintain an open mind. There are many confusing and conflicting thoughts and feelings.
Hopefully your experience of separation will remind you both to really treasure one another.
