Thank you RB and GH, I am grateful to both of you for your presence and your sanity. I was listening to my body and reactions, and realized the content of those e-mails will not serve me well. So you have both given me exactly what I needed - confirmation that I am on the right track. I am grateful. I will shred what I printed. I have not spent too much time reading the DB boards, but last night I was up late, and you were 2 of 4 people that I marked as needing to pay attention to and read more of. No coincidences here. I will hang in here, and I will calm myself. After all, I only have a few more days before he goes away, might as well make the most of it and be my perky best self. I was up 'til 1:30 am reading the new adult ed class schedule - so many great opportunities. I think I will take yoga and sculpture.

Please hang in with me. I really appreciate your wisdom.

PositivelyListening
