I think at last I am moving forward, at least my counselor things I am. I have hired a career management consultant to help me find a new career. What I have done so far is to take a look at what I have done in teaching and see what skills I have learned, such as budgeting writing propsals, organizing things, stuff like that. It certainly boosted my moral, I have more skills and abilities then I thought. Had two self esteem boosters yesterday, my counsultant thought I was ten years younger then I am. I went to the photographers with my daughter to have the babies pictures taken, and they asked if I was a friend of the family. My daughter told them I was her mother, their comment was sister but they couldn't believe I was the grandmother. Made me feel good. See he didn't need a younger model he just need to wait till I lost a little more weight and cut my hair and he could have saved himself all this trouble LOL For the first time in a long time I feel more confident in myself, and my counselor said she could feel that from our session. I think I have come to peace with my thoughts on following plan A and B. Do plan A just little notes and cards of reminders that I love him and care. No asking him to leave OW, until I have a job and a house hopefully by the first of the year. Then I will do plan B at least until next July. Also I have a part-time job four days a week in the afternoon. I will be checking educational programs for spelling and English mistakes. I had a rough time Sunday because we (D,SIL, SILF and S and friends) worked on the house. That always depresses me. But I'm better today. Also I had an offer on the house way to low wouldn't even pay off the loan, so I counter offered so we will see. I know who made the offer and I think they thought they could get something for nothing because of what is going on with the separation. But they don't know me very well. So that is how my life is doing. MOVING FORWARD AND UPWARD TO BETTER THINGS!!!!<P>------------------<BR>di<P>

What wonderful, wonderful news!!<P>I'm waiting for the day when I can once again say that I have self-confidence. Rare commodity around here. I'm almost jealous... or should I say envious... I would never take it from you, I'd just like some too!!<P>Take care and keep going forward... you're doing great <P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>

I am so glad to hear you are doing better. Time is an amazing thing. Keep up the great work.

Keep moving forward...sounds like you are doing well for youself and are getting it together. Keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement. I certainly hope things keep moving forward. I know no matter what happens with my H I have to take care of myself. There is no use just sitting around waiting when I could be doing something good for my life. Again no matter the outcome with H I still need a job and why shouldn't it be something I would enjoy doing I also need a place to live. So I am going to look out for ME.<BR> I am going to take a little break. I'm taking my son to my ILs tommorrow, then I'm going to visit my sister and parents for a few days. This will give my D and family a break from us. So hope everyone has a good weekend and I beback on Monday. See you then.<P>------------------<BR>di<P>
