Hi Apple--I hope that your day is going better and you are able to re-capture your sunny outlook.

I did wonder, at one point, if my mood had been influenced by my reading
This happens to me too sometimes. I've made it through this sitch by accepting that what is *is*, and though things may be less than ideal, I'm still kicking and even enjoying life--so long as I just keep my eyes straight ahead on the goal and not get wrapped up in all the scary stuff on each side of me.
Reality is that what has happened in our Rs is devastating with grave consequences...but it's also true that we can come out the other side with stronger and more fulfilling Rs if we just let go, have faith, and learn the lessons we need to learn on the way. We can't let the fear pull our attention away from our goal. We just can't.
Funny, isn't it, how we yearn for those apologies, and when we get them, we nearly skip over them or take them lightly, because it's so hard for us to believe they're real. I think that's a large part of what we need to learn--to be able to step out of ourselves and learn to see things from other perspectives.
