Does anyone feel that life will never be the same. I am feeling that even though I now one day I will be in a better place I find it hard to believe that I will love the same again, or feel the same way about love and marriage as I did before. It seems like those things for me have been tainted, and it is a very sad thing. I guess I am just having one of those days where I am dwelling too much.

I am there too. I don't think I'll ever get to a point where I will ever let anyone close to me anymore.

I feel the same way, guess I really did believe in "ever after" and now everythings gone. But I can't change that so I have to learn to change things that I can control. Trying to anyway.

Isn't it reasonable to think "never the same" and "better than before" can be two different things? And possible.

I think that many of us feel this way in the beginning and maybe even after a few months, but with time , I think it changes.. I know when I first thought about divorce 3 years ago, I did not ever think that I would feel or love again, but I do.. I love myself and now I see that I can love another,. I not only can love another, I think it will be better than before, if that happens, because I am different and I have grown.. I know what I want and don't want now.. What I will and won't accept in another. I also know that I won't settle or fall in love with potential.. Or I will be alone.. Simple as that. I respect myself too much and know that I only have so many years left and I want to spend them smiling as much as possible.. I am stopping the over thinking thing too.. It is the hardest thing I have had to change.. But in letting go of things I can not control, I have gained control, over me.. I am meeting people now and making friends and if it is meant to be for me to love again, I will give it my all.. What do I have to lose? Life is about risk.. Love is about risk.. Other wise I am just existing.. I want it all, Rodd and I hope that one day you will feel that way too.. Don't give up on life from one bad experience or two or three.. Learn from it., grown within yourself, and then one day when you least expect it, love may arrive and you will be ready to accept it.. Best to you and a hug of healing for your continued journey..

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
