Cat, you just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for that boost, friend - made my day!.:) It truly is the advice I have gotten hear from so many people, both directly and by reading others' threads that have caused me to grow. I am so grateful. Regardless of my M being "dead" (at least for now), I am better off now than I was a year ago in so many ways!
LFW - I am going to make my control/ out of my control columns and try to gain a little perspective here. I am a worrier and tend to focus on the what ifs, especially regarding finances, and you are so right. If it is out of my control anyway, I spend way too much time worrying about things. Might as well take care of what I can and live for TODAY, not next week, month, year, etc. That was great advice.
