It's hard to combat lonliness. I always think "Sure, it would be easier just to hop on board the [guy's name here] train and ride off into the sunset" but I know better. My marriage, the history we've shared, the child I love is worth it.

The offers for dates... eh, they're just flattery. I know I'm not over ExCautious enough to give any of them a fair chance, so why hurt someone else out of pain or spite?

I guess what helped me, as you'll see above, is doing the little things I couldn't before... giving myself a pedicure, ordering a pizza, the best though was driving myself to work, as we had to share a car previously.

Starting small, what kind of "smell the roses" type of small joy can you find?
