Punkin, I'm glad to see that you posted and your holiday went well. Glad to hear that you are now able to sleep w/o medicinal aides.
Nothing is as it appears. Sure your xh and wifey had a nice party, but look at all of the work, expense and yes, the effort that they had to put into it to be pleasant and make everyone thing that everything is perfect. Sure, parties are nice, but think about it...you are the one that held everything together in years past. This party was no walk in the park and believe me, it was posted so that you would see it. It's all about appearances w/them.
Punkin, you are right where you should be at this time...2012 will be an interesting year for you. You are in your new home and have plenty of projets to work on when spring comes calling. You, my dear, do not need to wear masks to prove that you are okay w/your life...you are as real as you can be and that, in my books, is wonderful!
Enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
