Hi Jilly,
I've been out of town and missed reading your postings on the forums.

Congrats on getting the mammogram!! So unpleasant, but so important.

Wishing you all the best as you work towards your goals.

Thank you so much, Carleen. It is so nice to have encouragement.

I posted my new five year goals in the Five Year Goal thread in this forum. I'd love to see you add yours!

You have done fantastically well Jilly Kudos to you for your progress! You are a shining example that perseverance does work

Thank you, Lisa. I've been in and out of the depression hole with dan having left. I did realize lately that I need to set up some extrinsic rewards in my life for achieving goals, and I will be working on that/thinking about that next. It makes me feel better to think about it. I seem to respond well to making a 'game' out of things.

Dear Jilly -

It is perfectly normal to be upset when a relationship ends, and you deserve kudos for working through that slowly but surely. It will take time. That's OK.

It's also great that you are learning what helps motivate you, and finding ways to take advantage of that!
