I didn't realise that it has been so long since I posted. I do keep up with reading the various sitches, though. CB,you are getting out and meeting neighbours etc. That is good. Was glad to read about your conference as well.
Brief update - I cannot believe the extent to which I "let go/detached" in the past few weeks. If anyone had told me that it was possible, I would have said that they were crazy. I think it is because I keep my eyes on God and not my sitch. I can't claim that I never get down and depressed but it doesn't last longer than a day at most and I manage to pick myself up. Usually through prayer.Lots and lots of it. My mantra is that I am moving towards something better and this is just a temporary state of affairs. That thought usually helps me.
And here's the thing. H and I are re-establising our friendship and every day it is getting stronger. I think that by letting go and letting God friendship was let back into the equation. I am keeping up my GAL activities and enjoying life as best as I can.
