@jenny123,
I am so sorry to hear about your losses! It must be rough for sure to not only grieve the losses of your family members, but to have to grieve the loss of your marriage at the same time must multiply the pain! I wish you the best and I am happy that my post uplifted you!

@jpr,
Thanks for your story. Short term goals are the way to beat this. Looking too far ahead scares me because I feel like I'll set myself up for disappointment. So, all that matters is here and now and the immediate future. Day by day, hour by hour, minute my minute. That's all we have control over. And thanks for the compliments! Right now, I feel like I'm kicking @$$ and takin' names!

Had my first golf lesson yesterday! It was supposed to be a beginner group lesson, but due to miscommunication, the lessons were cancelled. However, another PGA instructor just happened to be there early for a private lesson later that morning and didn't want his company losing business and wanted to keep me a happy customer. Soooo, he gave me a PRIVATE lesson complete with video analysis! He's going to complete the rest of my package at the price I paid!! Seems things are goings way! I'm paying a a third his private lesson fee and getting one on one treatment!!

Last night, I spent the night in the city and had a wonderful tapas dinner and LOTS of wine with a close friend.

Today, I spent the early afternoon at the driving range practicing before my next lesson.

Miss my kids as STBXH has them, but I kept busy and tried my best to keep my mind off the crappy stuff. I think I "done good"!

YOU GO Girl...... your post is just what I needed to read today....this makes me feel so good as I was feeling slightly foolish for feeling proud of myself for grilling for the first time by myself. He was commander and chief of the grill ( and so many other things) so while the steps are indeed small ( well camping with 3 little ones is not a small step), nonetheless it is so empowering to decide that things can and will be accomplished by oneself.

Manning the grill is no small feat! That's one I have not mastered! It's pretty intimidating! Even more so than camping with the little ones. I've never been good at cooking steaks. Always overdone! That'll be next on my D-bucket list.
