That all sounds wonderful. Keep your detached attitude, but still polite. I think it was kat that recommended you treat them like you would the mailman? I love that!!! Yeah, I think detaching gets easier and easier, and the more I detach the better I feel. I've seen others post that it's like that for them too...
I also stay super busy. Some of my favorites are Tae Kwondo, volunteering, church activities, jogging with the dog and kids, and reading when I have a chance too. There's a new overpriced coffee shop in my town I go to once a week and read a book and relax. I think my D9 and I are going to try out for a part in another musical this week too (Sound of Music). That's fun too....I think anything that keeps you busy and you enjoy is great! Karen
