Morning all.

Excellent, I’m so glad to hear it went well and you had so much fun! I spent most of the weekend working through the long list of stuff to organise before we head out on our trip, lots of exercising, visiting family and generally looking forwards to the end of dry-Jan…by Sunday was slumped on the sofa more than ready for bed!

Yeah, one day at a time, that’s all you can do. Just look to make the most of each day and the future will look after itself, eventually.  Sometimes I found that if I’d unexpectedly enjoyed myself I would shrink back from it, almost as if I “shouldn’t” enjoy anything because I should be sad still. So I would spend time thinking about him, what I’d lost and basically remake myself sad. Stupid eh. But at some point you are just ready to put the sad down for longer and longer each time, if that makes sense. Or you may find yourself ready to try again from that positive place of wanting to, not needing to. It’s all about getting better at listening to your real inner voice, not your emotions. At least you know when you’re hormonal they’re all over the place and not to be trusted!

This was in my daily reading email today, thought you guys might find it interesting, a lot I agreed with.
