I'm starting a new thread for the new year. I feel more positive about the coming year than I did about last years beginning. Next week, I start classes for the winter semester, and also have the lawyer appointment on Tuesday.
My new year resolutions: - write 100 words per day for my novel (not a lot, but once one gets started, then it may end up being more) - never, ever, EVAH bring up my R with H again. If he wants to talk then okay, but I will not do so again - continue losing weight and getting healthy

Mine was to rip off my rearview mirror and never look back!
I also have been writing a lot. I write in a journal. I try to write one page a day. Some days I write more. New Years Eve/Day I wrote more. I don't know if mine will ever be a novel.
Yes! NEVER, EVER, EVER bring up R again. I will add that to my list!
Aloha,

Yes, I think I shall be ripping off my rearview mirror once I'm divorced (nice one, Wendy, haha). There'll no looking back, or taking back. My H has had more than enough chances, and he blew it. I'm resolute now to have that D before our 27th anniversary in March. It'll take a miracle to fix this marriage now.

BeingMe, I like your resolutions, especially the one about writing.
The new year will be a more positive and productive one for you because you are now moving forward by taking large steps toward your divorce and your new life as a single woman.
Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Thanks, S. I'm determined to keep a positive mindset in 2013. I'm tough and courageous (I must tell myself this often, even when I'm most fearful of the future --- today is all we got).
Another thing I will continue into the new year is dancing. I have a Wii with all the dance cd's. It's such good exercise, and I always feel happy when I dance.
Weighed myself today, and lost another lb since two days ago. Sweeeeet!

Congratulations on the weight loss. It's better to do it slowly than quickly.
Dancing is fun and a great workout. They offer a number of good Wii dance cd's out there.
You are going to have a wonderful and positive year!

Off to school in about an hour. I'm looking forward to the distraction, although that's not only what I want out of uni. I do love to learn new things. Gosh! In Liberal Studies, we'll be reading Paradise Lost. I started over the holidays, and it's a tough read.
I have that appointment with the new lawyer this afternoon too. Not looking forward to that, but it has to be done. Gritting my teeth for that. I just keep looking at the bigger picture. I see a map, and this is the first hill on the road, then the finances, then the house being sold, then a side trip to my MRI in June, somewhere along the road I want to sell the condo, or H can buy my half, then it becomes misty and who knows where the road will take me, but one constant will be university for the next 18 months, if all goes as planned. But, I know that plans don't always go perfectly straight.
In the meantime, I take things one day at a time. I'm happy to be alive.

BeingMe, You are going to be just fine. Enjoy school today. I'm sure you will enjoy learning new things.
Good luck this afternoon w/the lawyer.

We had a huge snowstorm today. I went into Astronomy class at 1pm and when I came out it was already up to about 4 inches, and still snowing. So, the new lawyer rescheduled because of the snow. 'Eh, will I ever get this divorce. The new appointment is on Friday.
