    I didn't need that cry yesterday after all!
     
    For the first time my head isn't preoccupied 24/7 thinking of him and wanting him to come home!!!  I've been reading the wealth of info I found on the Chump Lady sight.  She's got great links to pages of psychologists who talk about co-dependence, grief and abuse etc. and I'm learning.  Just like I read here, getting to know yourself and growing is an advantage of being alone.  Did I just say that?   I haven't cried since Friday! 

    Sooo -  I actually answered a CL ad under Community.  He was looking to start a walking group so that he could be accountable for working out. He's 48, newly single and NOT looking to hookup.  It's a well populated pretty spot around a lake and it should be fun (hope I can keep up). 

    THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT !!   It's a nice break to feel like this.  Crossing my fingers that it lasts awhile.

    Keep moving forward Kathy!   Build momentum and keep moving yourself forward.  Find yourself. 

    Be aware that there will be setbacks, triggers and bad days.  But know that they are temporary and don't let them drag you down for very long. 

    You've got this!
