Thanks, gals! smile We came back last night and it was a lovely last day. We went to an amazing beach and it's impossible to be sad while listening to splashing waves and running with the dog in 80 degree water as clear as glass.

Today I saw the IC and shared the last couple of weeks' mood rollercoaster with her. She said it's important that I pamper myself - find those things that quiet my mind or banish the grief and make time for them. She suggested a couple of local places I may find the same peace that I did by the beach.

Work is absorbing, but also challenging because I have trouble concentrating, so she said to not be too hard on myself even if I have to print out the same letter 3 times because of mistakes.

We talked a little about how I very quickly connected with a few people (including men) in social settings lately and had brief, but very meaningful conversations, and that I should remember that when I feel low and lonely.

I haven't just been sad, I've also been very angry. Thinking about what WH has done... it's mind-boggling.

Oh, last Sunday I found a church that I think I like. The first one I visited here wasn't really a good fit, but I think this one is. I was invited to join the choir, and I think I will love to sing again.

So - trudging on.
