Hey there - The only way the girl with the very soft hands would feel like she is in competition or competing with a ghost, is if she's made to feel that way:) And I know you won't make her feel that way. And of course, communicating a LOT ahead of time:) helps:) Enjoying the San Diego Sun - Trinity

Insecurities abound in many relationships. Obviously the girl with the soft hands would have different ones then I would but Heaven knows I have so many that at times I make it hard for Dave and it frusrates him to no end. The best thing he can do for me during these times is just to hold me, look into my eyes tell me how much he loves me... No amount of trying to argue them away helps, but everytime he does that, I feel a little more secure with his love. Hopefully one day I will trust it alltogether but the only thing that develops real trust is time. Your words are always so touching... I really do look forward to reading your diary. It is a highlight in my day!

I liked your entry today -- while you sat in your parents front room and decided to take control of your life and live, my defining moment was in the shower of all places. I was starting to step in the shower as the water was running. And like yourself, had various thoughts, visions, going through my head, and for me I heard a voice that said, "Trinity, you can either wither up and die, or you can take a step towards moving on with your life" and I related that to taking a step into the shower. Water has always had big healing properties for me, and so that shower on that day was like washing away at least part of the grief. Like you also said, the living part isn't always easy, but for me that moment was a defining moment in the grand scheme of things. Your writing -- and what you are sharing widower are helping me still relate and cope with my loss, and it's also making me own my grief, and realize that it never goes away, I just learned to deal with it better each day. thanks - Trin

I am checking in from the road -- needed some "normalcy" from the wacky and wild schedule of road trips. Sounds like you are moving right along in the grieving process -- which is more than most ever are able to accomplish in a life time. Take care -- Trin

Sounds like we have the same psycho neighbor lady. Recently She was taken away in cuffs for doing something to her ex. It's a regular soap opera, especially when she's drunk. We get some soft drinks, pop popcorn, get out the lawn chairs, and take in the show. We are going to start writing reviews soon. Always entertaining.

Thanks for the compliments- and you're right, there are few people who understand the Narnia reference. I loved the entries that I read, and it's always great to find other people who like Lewis!
