DU,

You take it one day at a time…

One minute at a time sometimes…

Hope and faith, will come and go…for a while…

As you start to find things to focus on (like a puppy)…

Things that you like to do, people that you can form relationships with…

You will find that hope and faith begin to grow…

Happiness begins to feel more like the normal emotion…

Thoughts are not strictly on your marriage or your H but about you and your life…

Something that I absolutely love but stopped doing because H did not enjoy it…

Going to county fairs, craft fairs, thrift stores, antique shops, visiting towns that are small and have no cell phone service…

I go to these places now, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone…

But I love it…so many neat things, so much to learn about the past, before technology…

What is something you have given up or have always wanted to do that you didn’t because H didn’t want to?


"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
