Bttryfly you are great. Thank you for your words.

Up until today I was wallowing in my depression. The final language of the divorce papers was agreed to, the County attorney has signed off (she is involved b/c W is receiving county assistance). S14 did not come over to my place as he was helping SiL move. So I was alone. And lonely.

But this morning I took a shower. I put on clean clothes. I put on my 'Happy' playlist - it is amazing how strongly music affects my emotions. OK, here are a few songs that have lifted my spirit:

- Love plus 1, Haircut 100;
- Bright Side of the Road, Van Morrison;
- Endicott, Kid Creole and the Coconuts;
- Fight to Win, Goodie Mob with Celo Green ("If I lose, then it was worth fighting for. If I win, I only live to fight again."
- What a Wonderful Life, Louis Armstrong.

D21 stopped by Thursday night and we just sat around and talked for a couple of hours. She is so great. I can't wait to see our grandchild in a couple of weeks.

Today, at least, I am ready to move forward.
