You will have your up and down days, same as always. No matter what is going on it is how you process it. I was pretty good yesterday, then I went to my Home Interiors meeting. My friends there all gave me positive vibes and advice as well as hugs. That was really helpful. If only they were around on a daily basis! But they all told me to call them at any time if I needed to. I really have to credit people who say that. If I really was to call I'm sure they'd be sick of me.

Try and keep your mind off of "things" if you can. If you are home, try cleaning. Or starting some kind of project. Tomorrow I am working on my living room drapes. TV sometimes helps, but sometimes seeing happy couples on tv is depressing. If you are a book reader, try that. Divorce Remedy perhaps? Always a good read-and re-read.

Cook a big fancy meal. Or as fancy as you get. Something you will feel proud to serve to your family. Make mashed potatoes. They are fun to whip to get out stress! Exercise perhaps. I still go back and do my Jane Fonda workout at times. I wish I did it more, I have a few lbs to lose.

Take the kids to the playground. Fun to watch and they enjoy it. Or the movies. Rent a movie. Lots of good family movies to rent. Ever see My Dog Skip or Good Boy? Both dog movies. Or cheaper by the dozen? How about our all time favorite the Iron Giant? Cannot help but smile watching that one!

As someone told me last night who is twice divorced, keep your chin up!
