My counseling session went pretty well yesterday. I think I went the whole session without crying - a big step for me!

The counselor pointed out some things that I hadn't thought about. Apparently, H seems to tell his mom he is happier than he has been in a long time. The counselor said this doesn't really sound like someone who is truly happy. People who are truly happy don't go around telling people they are happy. I hadn't really thought of it that way before. I just thought he was happy without me.

Up until now, I have been keeping myself busy mostly working on my house and cleaning / going through things and going out with friends or family. I am ready to start trying something new, but I could use a few suggestions. The counselor said I should try to have at least 5 ideas of things to do just in case some of them don't work out.

Does anyone have any suggestions or GAL activities that have worked well for them? I can really be a creature of habit and sometimes have a hard time brainstorming things to do.
