yup and YES!! this has been by far the hardest thing i've ever dealt with and by most opinions, not the worst of what i've been through.

hmmm...to be that pandora...
  • get a life. literally.
  • enjoy life. don't let it pass me by pining away for someone who really isn't there anymore. and in all honesty, he wasn't the best H out there. not saying it in a mean way but i need to start facing the truth about him too.
  • really appreciate the good in my life now. i have great friends, good health, financial stability, a career, and my sanity.
  • move forward and let go. realize that life goes on, with or without me. know that i will make it. i'm strong and resilient...i need to ignite that part of me again.
  • trusting that there is something better out there for me.
  • not being defined by M. am i sad i can't have more kids right now, yes. i would love to have a family but understand maybe that's not for me now.
  • conquer my fears - these include the following: fear that i failed. fear that H will re-marry someone else, have children and be so happy. fear that i will be alone
  • knowing that God is always there...so i don't have to put everything on me
  • and in all of that, find things that bring meaning to my life. and in turn bring new meaning to my life. smile
ok, now how i do start this? wink
