W&H I always find ways to wear things that make me feel good. I am an elementary teacher by trade and wear 3 and 4 inch heels to work just about every day. Why?? They make me feel good. I also always try to look fabulous just because. I don't need an excuse, but I will say when people tell me how good I look, it boosts my confidence just that much more.
My STBXH is missing out, and the current cow is welcome to him. Someone wonderful and kind and loving is in my future....and when he comes, I will be ready because I took the time to get to know me again. And when I see the respect and love in my adult children'e eyes at how I am conducting myself, it makes everything all right.
You are going to be okay--better than okay. Your children are going to remember how their mother conducted herself and that is going to serve as a learning life lesson for them. Keep the faith sista!!!!!
