lmg,

Remember that failure is an i[event]i and not a person. You haven't failed. This really isn't about you. That doesn't mean you can't take this opportunity to "clean house" as it were and become the best expression of yourself. As much as all of this sux, I've found that if I'm willing to look inside myself not only for an interal validation, but to change the thing I don't like...then I feel like I have control over myself and my life. Do I aleays do this well? ah, noooo. I still keep plodding forward though. What wlse is there? While I still have days that crawling into a hole sounds really good, mostly I can make plans and set golas that keep me busy.

You can do this. As much as it hurts, you can still do this.

HUGS
