NNP, keep crossing those bridges!!! When I was going through my divorce I used "my journey" to get me through that.....I had a picture of a pretty scene,with lots of stairs. I kept the picture out to look at. Now the bridge would be better....I no longer feel I am going up the those long steps....just still on a journey across the next bridge.
My dtr had a baby 2 weeks ago!! I'm a GRANDMOTHER!!! YIKES!!! He is a sweet thing....just too far away. I saw my ex when I was visiting the new baby and he is not happy at all. We actually had dinner together. I was pretty proud of myself for being able to spend time with him, being able to talk as a friend, but to realize that he still has so many issues that were not resolved by leaving me. The sad thing about my dtr is that she has a rocky marriage already. Trying to get her to go for counseling, but her husband doesn't think they need it. I wish I could pass on some of the wisdom I have learned over the years. They are not ready for that, though.
Good to hear you're feeling better about getting better. I know quite a few folks that are nervous about bridges. Just be careful that you don't drive with blinders on (like on a harness for horses) or you won't know when it's safe to look around again.
Matilda, congrats Grandma!
