lnmw,

Your post put a smile on my face. I am happy that my posts offer encouragement to you in your sitch. Yes, yes, I can only work on improving myself. I have finally accepted that I cannot fix my XW and I cannot fix my sitch. I have to actively deter my mind from lingering on XW because any time spent dwelling on the status of my sitch and on whatever XW is spending her time doing is a waste my time and energy. My mental energy is much better spent on myself and my beautiful and perfect children. Absolutely.

Take care of growing yourself. Growing yourself will make you more interesting to yourself and to others. Keeping your mind active to keep your mind from settling on unproductive thoughts and feelings. Question: What is the last book you read to improve YOU?

Take care of you, lnmw. All of your work to improve you is your gift to YOU and you get to keep those gifts no matter how your sitch turns.
