Love the thread title, focus! I think that is a great way to look at things and to move forward. I know what you mean about posting stuff on FB too. I shied away from that all along throughout my divorce but Lord have mercy were there times that I so desperately wanted to put stuff. In fact, now that I'm in a new relationship, I had even hesitated posting pics and other things about Sparky until I just decided it is MY facebook page and I'll post what I want when I want. My XH has been married for 2 years now so he shouldn't give a rat's behind if I'm seeing someone and happy.

To speak to your very last comment in your post above, it IS time for you to start to feel that same indignant feeling you felt on your friend's behalf for yourself. You are strong, vibrant, have so much to offer, so don't let someone else's opinion of you weigh you down. You just don't have time for that! I just read this morning (and have heard a million times over) someone else's opinion of you is none of your business. I like that and I try VERY hard to hold on to it.

Sounds to be like you are doing well and I'm thrilled for you. Keep on keeping on with love! smile
