I'm sorry that you feel that you are losing hope. Try to look at what's been going on in your life a bit differently. For example, one of your best friends is moving to another country...you will now have someone you can go visit and vice versa. The time spent together when you visit will mean so much more. Your boss has left the organization...you don't know what the future holds, but he could consider you for another position under his direction at some point. Try to stay in contact w/him if you can. As for your cleaning lady, it might have been time to boot her out of your house any way. Everything from the above spells "fresh start/new beginnings".

I'm glad the kids had great results at school this year. I'm sure you'll be spending quite a bit of time w/them over the summer. As for the summer vacation, treat it as an adventure w/little to no expectations. Okay?

BTW, Babe originally posted over on Newcomer's. You may want to do a search of her poster name and read up on what she's posted. She's not posted much.

MLC takes a very long time. It's not for the faint of heart, i.e., it's a marathon, not a sprint. Dig deeper for patience and continue to move forward w/your life.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
