MT, last night was a wonderful baby step for you! Nice job!

In high school, I didn't go out a lot, I would always use the horses as an excuse as to why I didn't go out, and for the most part it was true, but there were a lot of times, I just didn't feel like socializing.
Ohso true how easy it to find excuses to stay home. I like being home, it truly does make me happy to be home and be me and make progress on all the jobs to do. When this all started with H it was so very hard to force myself out of the house and live my life without him by my side. I had always been socially involved in the horse world, and when H joined my life he joined that as well. I loved it! Then he dropped that part of his life while excluding me from his and I had to forge on without him by my side any longer. It was very hard, and I still miss him not being with me but I won't let him wreck that part of my life.
Sorry that's such a long version of what I wanted to say - if you get out in the world and surround yourself with good people to support you it will increase your confidence in yourself. There are so many worthy groups that would benefit from a wonderful talented person like yourself. Is there a state chapter for AQHA? a local saddle club? the local food pantry? Salvation Army? an elderly home? are your dogs good with fragile people? take them to visit the elderly (get the ok first).
Find ways to fill your life with joy that does not hinge on H.
Single digits here this morning. H started my truck for me and I didn't have to ask! I think he loves me!!! JK!!!
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
