If I can point to anything good coming out of my sitch is my improved eating habits. My first career was fast food, sixteen years of 1/4lb'ers and fries. Started my own restaurant, more crap in my body. Until June.
I eat like a religious zealot. Mostly fruits, veggies, protein. Haven't had a french fry in 2 months; no pop in 4. I've started to learn how to cook really well, and feed my Ds food that I'm happy to serve them.
Mystik, I sat down at work the other day and just daydreamed about what I wanted to do when my W left. I came up with a list of 30 things that I had "put off" over the last 13 years, and stuff I figured I'd never do. Brainstorming stuff that really made me realize that GAL was going to be easy, now that I wasn't trying to impress my W.
Try it when you can. Entertain your inner child for an hour, daydream about the woman you had hoped to become when you were much much younger.
