I think it's OK to let go

[TimeHeals]

Journaling:

I feel really, really good right now. I have been getting up very early (well, the dogs wake me early every day), drinking a cup of coffee, feeding the dogs, and then taking them for a two mile walk every morning.

Energy levels are up. House is getting cleaner and more orderly. I need to hire some painters, and now I have the money to do things that I wouldn't have had if weren't technically single

I was taking stock of my life today:

1. I will be 45, single.
2. Getting back into shape after a couple of years where I let that slide.
3. I am not poor, and I enjoy all kinds of things and activities.

Things to work on: networking related stuff. I need to establish a peer group here locally, and then the rest is cake.

I don't mind the solitude one little bit though. It has actually been nice, and this board and phone calls to distant friends has been a good substitute for a social life while I was getting to this emotional state.

Man, I am 45, single, no kids, not poor, don't drink, etc.

If I just get the networking thing down in time, this is going to be great.
