Hello All!
I have a confession to make. I have really high standards that I unknowingly impose on myself and others. It's no secret that those standards have found their way in these forums in one of my bolder postings.
I think mostly what that means for me is that I fake my strength during the low points knowing that when the high points are there I will be around to enjoy them. (DOES that make sense?)
In truth, for the past month or so, I have not had good access to the internet to keep in touch; that is the truth--the other part of the truth however is that I could have tried harder, but I was running.
I impose such high standards on myself and unknowingly on others that it was pretty difficult to live up to them this past month.
I am writing this from my sisters house in Houston, Texas. I arrived yesterday afternoon for some much needed R&R.
Keep me in your thoughts as I am struggling at this time; but I am a true fighter and that's what I will continue to do.
The thoughts (I call them intrusions) were so overwhelming to "end things" on my wife's and my anniversary (Aug. 18th), that I knew that I needed to get around some support.
Like I tell other people, "If you want to feel better and be healthy, you have to make a step in that direction." I want to feel better, and I am making a huge step by taking about 10 days off to come down here.
It's nice to be here, and nice to check in with you.
To healthier and happier days,
Blessings,
Jon
