I'm very glad the clouds parted and you had a time of peace, camaraderie, and optimism.

You've got a long time to sort through the rubble and figure out what you're looking for. Dr. Joy is my favorite psychologist and she insists on 1 year from when the ink is DRIED before dating. My IC and L are telling me 2 years and 3-5 years respectively. Whatever the answer, the point is to not just move on, but to move WAY on before jumping into the pool again. Not everyone feels that way, and trust me...I've had moments in the last few months that make my heart beat hard a few times...but I really believe that is best.

In the meantime have a great relaxing weekend. Those are some of my favorites. Reread an old book, go for a walk, call some friends you haven't talked to for a while. Oh, maybe a massage? Sometimes just having the weekend open to brainstorm is a vacation! Enjoy!
