Well, I survived our anniversary and am looking forward to 2013. I have a lot of positive things in my life: a great new job, a supportive and loving family, two amazing children and wonderful friends. I see a new attorney on Tuesday to just talk about general options and to see if she's a good fit. I suspect H may move forward after I see her. I seem to recall telling him of my appointment. No idea if he's been working on settlement paperwork or whatnot while he's been in his place alone. I don't ask and he hasn't offered.

I think one of the hardest things about being separated is being so lonely. I have a lot to do around the house but when the rubber meets the road, it's really quiet. Once the kids go to bed, I find myself craving adult interaction. I reactivated my FB page but am considering going dark again there in a few more days. I get a little too sucked in and I don't like it. It's better to pop in for a week or so and then bail out again.

You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
