No problem EastTN. My take on hope helped me detached and gave me more peace in daily life than when I was in hope mode.

That is awesome about you and your R with your daughter. Keep that up. It helps focus on the right things.

Preaching to the choir as I definitely lost a sense of self over the last few years. It's hard to think about what you like to do when you're consumed with anger, fear, sadness, combo. The more you do the more it comes back to you. Soon enough you're just doing to do.

Flying sounds like fun and a great experience with your D.

House stuff I find to be a little theraputic. I try to ignore what stuff is hers and just focus on cleaning the house. It's a little bit of my "little engine could" boost in that even though this sitch is for the birds I am better than it.

48 lbs... care to take some of mine??? That's awesome. I've also dropped some so far and excited about that. I'm happy to say too it's not depression weight loss. Typically, I am a stress eater so you'd think I'd be up 48 lbs, but I'm keeping it all in check and better for it.
