Newbie - my story

[maybs]

I read on another thread that someone phrased it as "you've been given the gift of time" or something along those lines and that really struck me.

Don't get me wrong I loved our crazy busy married life but that statement is exactly true. Now I have so much free time and so much ME time I might as well try anything and everything that I can. I might not have the opportunity in the future (which like I said I loved W and I's crazy busy life) but this is an opportunity for me and I don't feel like I should let it go just because I'm mad/sad/depressed/upset/etc etc about the situation. Sitting around feeling down about it isn't going to help and it isn't going to make me look or feel attractive so I might as well get out and start living!
