Other positives of being 'alone': strengthening relationships that may have otherwise been neglected like friends and other family, you create your own peace (er, perhaps a baby can interrupt that ha ha!), and knowing that you are developing a rock-solid strength that will get you through anything!

All that said, today as I was driving through some restaurants in town, I missed WH. I liked when we would go out. We didn't do it often enough.

I helped myself get over that feeling by acknowledging that I WILL go to restaurants with a man in my future. I will date at some point, when I'm ready. And it will be so worth it at that time. Worth the waiting now.

Optimistic fatalism strikes again!
