alien invasion II

H,
I'm very sorry that your marriage ended. You fought a good battle and God knows it. I'm happy that the pressure is now off and you can begin focusing on you and your daughter. The heavy burden of stress has lifted and the nesting you are speaking of comes naturally when you are free to breathe once again. You'll have peaks and valleys for a long time, but they become less and less painful as time moves along.

You sound like you are doing well and yes, mowing can be fun, but more relaxing and in the sense that you are out in the fresh air, listening to the birds and just enjoying Mother Nature.

I'm very proud of you and your daughter. It's been a long and hard road for you both.

Thank you, Snodderly. Yes, I definitely feel like I can breathe again. And the nice thing is, I'm not doing it too loudly, with humming, with snoring, or just generally wrong. Only recently have I realized I have been holding my breath unnecessarily--no one is going to criticize me for breathing wrong, eating too loudly, sitting down too loudly. And that feels really, really good.
