Morning Jim. Hope your trip goes well...

One piece of advice I have found helpful is to accept your feelings, but challenge your thoughts at times like these.

You feel low at the moment of course, and that your hope just died. And when you think that, try and add in 'for now, ' things feel hopeless right now. That doesn't mean that they are hopeless, and that things won't improve. Just that you feel that way for now.

Sometimes we talk to ourselves in 'absolutes' - much like the WAS - 'She's moved on' - She doesn't love me - It's hopeless - etc. And our minds really convince ourselves that this is the TRUTH - But actually, it is only our thoughts, not reality....and we don't know what the future holds...

Hoping for better times ahead for you Jim - I'm sure there will be....
