Thank you Burned for your suggestions. I am hoping to find something on the low end of price as I am a true beginner. It is just an instrument I’ve always wanted to learn so I thought that now is as good a time as any.
FS...You amazing woman you!!! Thank-you for what you said and for starting my list. I would add #8 to your list too. Re: dating... I, too, would prefer something organic - especially since I met my H online and we all know how that turned out. However, I do remember that I met a lot of fun people prior to my H and it was an interesting time, at the very least. Chatting with various people online also got me through some boring nights. As long as you take precautions (i.e. meeting in a public place, googling people, etc...) and you don’t take it too seriously, you can meet people you never would have met otherwise. But...I’m not ready to go there yet. For now I am just going to try to expand my circle of friends and interests and see where that takes me.
Lots more thinking today. Concentrating on me...and less on my H. Slowly but surely starting to find my footing again. I know there are lots of hits to come...the biggest being the inevitable separation of finances and custody issues. Also...I fully expect there to be an OW showing up at some point. I know he’s been adamant there is not but I think that is because he doesn’t want people thinking he is more of an @ss than they already do. But I know him. I know it is a very real...dare I say likely...possibility. So there will be hits. But I am determined to be in a much better place by the time they come.
