Stages of grief

[Painter]

Hi Sara,

Nice to see you over here. I just posted in your thread.

Yes, I think stuff is catching up with H. I think his and my R is probably the most challenging he has been in - which was why he stepped out of it, OW is like memory foam, it sounds like.

My health is actually better than it has been in a long time. I have recovered from a bad winter where I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I think a healthy lifestyle and my supplements help keeping me well, but the climate here is also much, much better for my body. I have none of the aches and pains that held me back when I lived with H. I experienced this improvement last time I was here, too. I don't know if some of it is emotional.

Work is taking a lot of my time right now, but I walk my dog 3 times a day and take her to off-leash areas where she plays with other dogs and I chat with their owners. I'm starting to know some of them as regulars.

I'm also participating in some art activities, and hope to take a weeklong class in August. On Friday, there's a meetup art group dinner that I've signed up for.

I talked to a friend about going paddleboarding one day this weekend!

My son and I do small things together that we both enjoy. Luckily, we share a lot of interests, like thrift store shopping and cooking.

I also am working on building my holistic health practice, but it's been slow so far, in spite of my efforts. I'm going to see if I can find any health fairs to participate in, and we're having an open house at the wellness center I rent space at.
