Hi everyone!

As of today, I am back on line and raring to go! I have a new apartment, high speed internet, and am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things around here!

My wife and I have now fully separated. She already has a new live-in boyfriend, and I am fine with it. I have realized that she has moved on with her life, so I am gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and get on with my own.

I am considering contacting my doctor and having her take me off the anti-depressants. It seems that now that the two of us have separated, I'm not feeling as depressed as I was (imagine that!

)

Well, that's about it for now. I'm gonna go explore the forums for a bit to try to catch up on what's been happening lately. Any brave souls care to catch me up on what's been happening around here for the past month or so???

Take care and God bless!

Allen

P.S. I sure have missed you guys! It's good to be back home!

Wiz, great to see you again, my friend! Welcome back to the family! You are still in my prayers!

What's been going on the past month? Well, people are arguing, telling jokes, playing games, listening to music, pretty much the same old same old

!

Actually, the conflict in Lebanon has captured a lot of attention. And Macfive is trying to come up with creative ways to give away the nearly 100 CDs he has!

Look forward to seeing you around. Take care and have a great day!

Welcome back Allen, you have been missed!!!

WELCOME BACK WIZMAN!

So glad to 'hear' the energy in your post. Life is going to get so much better. Crossing the river you just went through is the worst of it.

So, now that you're back, tell us of the novel your little sister said to bug you about.

I'm really, really happy for you. Root beers and hot chocolates all round!

You have SO MUCH been missed!

Posted by: bluewhispers 20-Aug-2006, 09:01 PM

Ah, my brother. I love you so much. Please hold onto the strength and knowledge that you will NEVER be alone. Good will happen and often things will try to bring you down. Always remember that "If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it!"... I will always have your back and will always stand strong by your side!! You mean the world to me and all I want is for you to find your happiness again. You are well on your way to discovering yourself again and you are making some strong stands for yourself. I am so proud of you!! DONT GIVE UP!!! Keep pushing forward... if and when you find a roadblock, I'll bring the bulldozer and help you knock it down. I love you baby, always and forever... my big brother, my friend.

Posted by: bluewhispers 20-Aug-2006, 10:16 PM

I've been playing around and looking at past postings. I thought you might need a soft reminder of exactly how much you mean to ALOT of people....

*WizardofOwls
If I've said it once, I'll say it a million times - you guys really ARE the greatest bunch of friends a person could have!

*Elspeth
When you make mistakes and are be tempted to be hard on yourself, always remember that you are a great blessing as well. We've seen it time and time again here. If you can't remember it, just ask us, we'll tell you.

*Stoirmeil
and some of my share of the sunshine from the coming spring I'm saving for you! Because you've been our sunshine around here, so faithfully and for so long.

*Jim Milne
May you aye be just as happy
as I wish you now to be.

*Dreamer1
You've given so much to everyone here. I hope you know how much we all care about you, too! Keep your lights up bright (sunshine works best!), play your favorite music loud and strong, and know we're all thinking of you.

*TheCarolinaScotsman
Turning to friends and being honest and open with them (as you have done) is also very good. Know that we love you and pray for you. Know also that God knows your pain and wants you to be well. His Love is the Ultimate Light. This may end up to be a consant struggle, but it is a fight worth fighting. You are a person worth fighting for. Always remember that; your friends do.

(Remember this?? Glad I stumbled on this�. didnt know what about the cheating thing, but the music was beautiful. I thank you for introducing me to the wonderful sounds of Celtic music!!!)

My little sister had 2 Celtic songs from my collection played at her wedding. Both came from A Celtic Heartbeat Christmas from the Celtic Hearbeat label (of course! ).They were Na Hu O ho byt Fiona Kennedy (A gorgeous song sung in Scottish Gaelic, but don't look too deeply into what the words mean - its about a Scottish girl who suspects her love is cheating on her in Ireland!) and The Snowy Birch Trees by Thomas Loefke (A beautiful musical piece with guest appearnces by P�draig and Nol Duggan of Clannad). I thought they were just wonderful in her wedding. Even though the two songs are featured on a Christmas album, they are not really Christmas pieces.

Posted by: WizardofOwls 22-Aug-2006, 07:56 PM

Well, now that you've brought it up, I guess I'll have to post a little correction about the cheating thing...

The song is ACTUALLY about a young lady who has heard RUMORS that her true love has been unfaithful to her while he has been away in Ireland, but int the words of this song she reaffirms her love for him, telling him that she doesn't believe the rumors. If he were to go to Egypt, she would sprout wings and fly across the ocean to sing her songs of love to him. Pretty neat huh?

Posted by: WizardofOwls 22-Aug-2006, 08:00 PM

(Wiz blushes from head to toe) I love you too, sister-mine! Thanks for the support and encouragement! I couldn't have asked for a better sis. I hope you know just how much I appreciate and love you!

Posted by: bluewhispers 22-Aug-2006, 08:58 PM

We have had the great priviledge of sharing the BEST sister in the world. Now heaven is better off for having her there. I just hope you know how much you've always meant to me and how much I love you!!! I am really glad to have my brother back!! Has been too long. Having you back is one of the best things I could have ever asked for!! So even in rough times, if you look hard enough you can find light. You are my light!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Oh man, listen - I had no idea! I haven't been able to be here on CR as much as I'd like in many months now, and I'd never seen your post about this until today. I'm sorry to hear about your split at home...

...but I'm delighted you'll be back here more often! Glad to hear the dark clouds are lifting from your heart. It really is time for you to go after your own happiness and I hope the journey is a good one.
