hi all,
its been a number of months since i've visited malesurvivor. had to re-register here, i was guy43 - jer. i'm still jer oddly enough.
been busy/slow/busy/nuts in my new country living life in minnesota since moving here from pennsylvania last fall. my move here has for the most part been a good change. most significant has been shift away from abuse recovery work and therapy, a much needed respite. going on 2.5 yrs sober!!! life is good. been feeling a need to reconnect with fellow survivors, so here i am.
it's good to see some familiar names on the forums and so many new participants. congrats to thedean on becoming a board member (have u shaken things up yet?).
hoping to hear from old and new friends,
jer

Hello Jer,
Good to hear from you. Congratulations on your 5 years of sobriety! And glad to hear the move has gone successfully. I think of you when I visit the board, so it's great to have such good news of you. Thanks for posting.

Wow, Jer, long time no see. Last I heard you were hoping to get to MN in time for maybe a Sunday night dinner. I didn't see you there. Did you make it for any of the conference?
Glad to hear that you're doing well. I hope to hear more from you again. I still have the little story that you, Don, Mikey, and I wrote in a thread last summer saved to a file on my PC.
Thanks,
Joe

this is from "words of wisdom" - selected quotes from his holiness the dalai lama, on a daily calendar, jan 31, 2004. seems to fit a lot of things...
"my mental state, i think, is quite peaceful, quite calm. if there's some sad news, some heart-breaking news that comes, for a short moment, i am very disturbed, very sad, but then it goes. so like an ocean, the waves come and go, come and go."
