Good to hear from you again. I have been doing better than others in my sitch. Over the holidays, we had an indiv in our community that was in the same boat as me and he chose a poor way to handle it... attempted suicide. After that point, I knew I was going to be just fine. I realized that I AM strong and will get through whatever is thrown at me. I have been keeping fitness as my anchor and been feeling better than ever. I've set goals for myself (finish certification & start M.S. in May), and been taking care of myself so I am confident about me and not worrying about the future. I wise person said, "You can worry about the future and ruin a perfectly good present."
I'm currently job hunting now and am planning on finding something within Denmark so I can be nearby my kids.
At the moment, I'm excited to see my children next month. I'm also reminding myself the DB rules in that when I go, I will not be a gloomy Gus and will stay positive around S regardless. I will not have her see me sad. There's someone out there that will love me for who I am, and I won't find them being down all the time. Additionally, it's important to put my best foot forward for my kids' sake. They don't need to be dragged into the emotional stuff.
