Well, yes, you will have to work hard but it doesnt mean you wont be together. You just havent yet defined *how* you will be together (as co-parents, friends, a married couple).

I know it might not feel this way now but defining what is not working and both of you agreeing to change it is huge.

Some things we can control and some things we cannot. And there is nothing wrong with being sad but dont let it control you. Feel it in all the ways you need to then take another step.

Lately I have been thinking about all the ways I can empower myself. I actually made a list (us Type A's like lists, lol!). Just a suggestion but I came up with some ideas that made me feel powerful as a woman just for thinking of them!

The other day I had to carry four HUGE bags of stuff to my car (I dont have a driveway and had to park 3 blocks away). The bags were so heavy. I cursed my H up and down because he was not there to haul the stuff. But I did it - because I am a strong woman and I can survive just fine (even while hauling bags but I am considering purchasing a mule, lol). We are not shrinking flowers - we are strong. I know you are, I can just feel it!
