Pearl - thanks for helping me refocus! I have a bad cold - maybe that's why I'm not being more proactive doing things on my own this weekend.

However, one of my goals for the weekend is to sit down and brainstorm a list of things I'd like to do in my lifetime, in the next weeks, months, years ahead. I think it will be a helpful reference when I'm feeling stuck.

Jenn - I need the luck! Thanks for sending some my way. You're right - it's easy for me to "get lost." You're absolutely right that it's all a matter of how I handle things. I am trying to hold my head high and do what is right for me.

It's a bit of a foreign concept for me right now. I've always been very good at "helping" everyone else, including my H, and have spent a lot of time focusing on the two of us.

Time for a vacation from that mentality. I need to take a mental ME vacation. \:\) After all - for the next who-knows-how long, I'm going to be spending a lot more time with myself, alone!
