I also realized today I've only been in this for a little over a month! Seems like years.
Time really drags early in the sitch. We all start out with lots of expectations and they just keep getting dashed against the rocks over and over again. We watch every little move on their part for signs of hope. We go out and do something and think we're GAL'ing when we're really just biding our time until we can get back to putting our WAS under the microscope again. At least that's how it was for me, LOL! Just keep the focus on you, it does get better and easier as time goes on. Soon you'll be enjoying yourself in spite of your sitch, and the stretches in which you're not even thinking about it grow longer and longer.

At the very least, this whole thing has started me on a spiritual journey that I should have started years ago!
Yes! We're defined by how we respond to adversity. THAT is who we REALLY are. It's easy to show dignity when nothing ever goes wrong in your life, but maintaining dignity when things are falling apart is a real testament to your strength.
