searching patience with H / finding myself #9

[NikB]

(((Donna))) Sorry you had a rough night. It was the first with the new routine so it was bound to be difficult.

For tomorrow, let's find a way to make this time for yourself more positive than sitting in the library dwelling, eh?? How about:

- Make plans with a friend or family member? (NOT MIL.. not sure what other family you have around)
- Go to a movie (by yourself isn't that bad at the movies!)?
- Go running, walking, biking?
- Take the dog to the park?
- Get your nails done?
- Jump on meetup.com tonight and see if there are any appealing groups in your area - then join, and go to one? (awkward at first, HECK YEAH, but it's fun and worth it)
- Read for FUN. Find a good mystery novel or something (no trashy romances just yet..)
- If you're feeling up to it - plan a trip! Immerse yourself in that... if you're like me, which I think you are, you can get really caught up in (and enjoy) the planning. Then of course make sure you TAKE the trip too.

Something -- ANYTHING -- to get you out having fun, and NOT focusing on this stuff for awhile. It will feel forced at first - do it anyway, really.
