There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.
That reminds me of something a therapist said to me once..when I used to go regularly, during the early part of my divorce. Soon after I was thrown out of my house in the middle of the night by two sheriff's deputies, due to a bogus restraining order filed by my ex (which she retracted about a month later), I was in her office, and still in a mild state of shock.
She said it's perfectly normal to feel that way...I was displaced from my home...and having a place to call home where you feel safe, secure, and comfortable is probably more important than anything else. And here I was..in an apartment, without most of my possessions, in a strange environment, plus dealing with all of the legal matters relating to my divorce...and that unsettled feeling didnt go away until recently..after I moved into my condo...and started making it my home.
This past week I tied together all of the projects I had on my list..everything is pretty much finished, and I finally feel like I am settled in. I'm home. Finally.

There's No Place Like Home! I'm glad you feel more settled. I knew you would. I'm a homebody myself.

It sure does. I'm wrapping up all the projects now..which is good, but also...it leaves me with too much down time now. And the girlfriend is working way too much. Now its going to start to matter.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
This is a good one. Everyone's going to have some snags in their life, and it's how you respond to life's crisis that really matters.
I've taken a few hits in my life..this divorce, my building burning down in a fire, the loss of my mother at a young age..but if I knew at the time what I know now..that things are NEVER as bad as they seem..I would have gotten through it a whole lot better.
This divorce isn't "legally" over yet, but in my mind I have achieved relative "closure" and have saved myself a lot of grief.
Approach every catastrophe with an open mind. There are ALWAYS options, and if you are closeminded, and scared, and not thinking clearly, you won't see all of them.

True, so very true.

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation. – Herbert Spencer

You play the hand you’re dealt. I think the game’s worthwhile.
I like this one. It compares life to a game..you're born into whatever situation it may be..whether its into the household of a drug addicted alcoholic living in poverty, or the child of a multimillionaire...you do what you can with whatever nature, genetics, and good old fashioned luck sends your way.

Victory is won not in miles, but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.
So many of these seem to apply to my divorce..lol
It's been a battle for over 2 years..and at first I took some huge hits (casualties), I nursed my wounds, put on the tournequets where necessary..and the last few exchanges back ann forth..in court and between the attorneys, seem to be going my way.
If things go the way I expect them to..the final battle..DDAY...which is the trial in March..should end with me getting a reasonable settlement (victory!)..as it stands right now, her life is in turmoil, she's spending the money faster than I am shoveling it to her..and she's bitter and miserable as per her outburst in the court hallway yesterday.
Wars are not won in one day.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?
