I know fully what you are saying. Without this place I would have been lost - Hell, I was lost, but the wonderful people here kept me going w/all their love and support. I look forward to hearing the thoughts of my friends here.
As for dating, it is difficult and maybe letting go is the thing that is needed. I know that I'm picky now and it most likely is b/c I'm holding on to the past.
I'll be sure to celebrate my 1-year anniversary while I'm back in DC again in 2009. The 2008 trip was difficult for me w/the battles w/my XW, but this year's trip will be much more enjoyable b/c I've changed and I'm witnessing history to boot.
Thanks again for checking on me. Let's hope 2009 will be good for us both, indeed. I'll drink to that toast.
