smit, funny you mentioned meditation, I have been starting to looking into it…I think if I try to meditate in the morning it will start my day off with less anxiousness. I am also going to try writing and reciting a positive morning mantra so that will hopefully start my day off better! Its nice to hear you say everyone has these thoughts, I just assumed I was of the few awake at 3am thinking about things I cannot change. Thank you for your advice 🙂

mcsynchronicity, your story is amazing and I TOTALLY understand how you felt! It is a very difficult thing to have something stolen from you..it brings out such emotion. I feel anger, resentment, rejection, insecurity, etc. all from one girl who decided to be hateful that day. I just don’t understand why I can’t let it go. I am going to try your “giving” exercise and see if that helps. I am up for anything to help me move on and sleep a little. Rereading my post, I hope I’m not coming across shallow, worried about some expensive purse. There was a ton of sentimental value behind it, and I think that is why it stings more than it seems like it should. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to share with me 🙂
