Hi Aimone,

I hope this read finds you well.  I was getting ready to write a post & saw yours and it saddened me because my life has mirrored yours.  I am close to your age had great parents and traveled a lot due to my Fathers job as an adult, I followed his footsteps and had jobs with a lot of responsibility and travel involved which I enjoyed.  I retired a few months ago due to feeling to old to start a new job.  In spite of only being in your 50s, you are not old, only as old as you let yourself feel.

I have had bad relationships most of my life & would like to move.  I don’t feel things would be that different anywhere else until I get my life in order.  I have animals also and their happiness is very important to me so I don’t want to take them from the only home they have ever known & my sweet 9-year-old fur baby has a heart condition, FIV, and an upper respiratory infection.

I have moved enough unless you are sure don’t just pack up on a whim and move unless it is for a good reason because you will take pain with you wherever you move and you will be in a strange city with people you don’t know.

I used to be very open and trusting with people and that window closes a bit every day as I talk and meet new people.  Too many are not honest and have no compassion for other people’s feelings.  Don’t let your old boss’s actions dictate how you live.  You deserve happiness and you will find it whether it is a friend, job, new friends, or love.

Treat yourself today.  Go to the salon or spa and relax. You are reaching out and that says a lot.  You are on a long journey & still have time to turn your life around.

If you like movies buy the Red Tent DVD, such a great movie.  It makes me realize how lucky I am even with the pain that life has a path for us,  put your trust in God’s Hands…He will guide you.

Have a nice day~
