Holidays....

Here goes another Holiday season and I find myself not even wanting to get out of bed. 5 years ago I was told I was getting a divorce a couple of weeks before Christmas and served papers Dec. 22. I loved him so much. I always loved Christmas with our family but he even took away that pleasure from me. Will I ever get over this? I seem to be getting worce the longer I am single and alone but I don't know where to find love again. I'm 59 and just find myself wishing I would get hit by a car and life would be over..The sad thing is I have 5 wonderful grandkids and something to celebrate but I don't even want to put up decorations or go shopping..not that I have any money. I never dreamed life only got worse as you get older. Who would want a sad old lady anyway?

Look at it as the beginning of your new life. This is your opportunity to make things how YOU want them. Make your own Holiday traditions with your kids, grandkids and friends. Join a group, take a class. I am really sorry that this has happened but you have a choice as how you want the rest of your life to be. You can do it! Good luck sweetie! xoxo

    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...
