The best advise I can give is "fake it till you make it." I am in charge of my own happiness. I enjoy every minute of every day. IE- I wake up in the morning. I take two really deep breaths and enjoy the feeling of breathing. I notice how nice the sheets feel. If I don't like the feeling, I go buy sheets that feel and look good to me! Nice artwork in my bedroom to enjoy. The rituals I have in place bring me happiness. Showering in the morning is great. I enjoy the hot water running over my body. I have multiple shampoo's that smell nice to me! Taking time to enjoy all the small things in my life is an amazing shift from dwelling on the things that are lacking......I enjoy interacting with everyone I encounter. I even enjoy MsR2C even though she does not speak to me. I understand she is in pain. I don't take it personally. It has to take a lot of unhappiness to break a family in half. I hope she finds her happiness.
