Hi Antlers, thanks for stopping by.. 2nd guessing why she feels what she feels is energy wasting. I hope you can find some things to do to distract yourself & spend your energy more productively.
We all leave the past behind... we have no other choice. Whether we learn from it or not & apply it to current & future choices, remains to be seen.
I happy to hear of your resolve.. I'm sure some in your future will be very fortunate to interact with the 'new you'.

I am officially moved into MY new house... it's not quite a 'home' yet, but it will be getting there soon.
I found as I was purchasing furniture for it that I had some personal issues to deal with... XH & I had spent over a year searching & finding just the 'right' style of bedroom & living room furniture about 7-8 years ago.
I loved the style.. a modern twist on mission/arts & crafts. Sadly, my eye is still caught by that style...
why sadly? Because I want my new home to look NOTHING like the one I left him. So it was indeed a challenge to find a style of furniture & decorating that I liked that looked little of what I left behind.
After much window shopping after the first of the year, I ordered a lot of the furniture in March after the D was final.. and was getting anxious that I wouldn't still like it when it arrived this past week.. I had no reason to worry.. I still very much like it and it looks amazing in my house... now for the painting and finishing touches
In the past 5 days I have completed the following home reno's (wow.. I love powertools!)
*installed 6 new light fixtures in the dining room, entryway, hallway, bathroom, & stairwell *installed a new medicine cabinet in the bathroom *replaced my sliding closet doors *painted, cut & replaced quarter-round floor trim in 2 bedrooms, hallway & living *assembled D15's bedroom furniture *installed 2 window AC units *replaced & ran coax & cat 5 wiring for my TV & internet connections *removed 20 year old contact paper from the kitchen shelves & put new (non-adhesive) back in
I had to come back to work to get a rest!

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
