Good Things About My Bad Day

[Guest guest]

1. That I have a place where I can turn to people instead of food when I hurt.

Thank you for your insightful replies. I love the analogy to wild horses coming

at me.

2. I did not eat over it! I had just enough of a nourishing dinner. I sat with

the feelings, and didn't give up and eat them away. That feels like progress.

PS. " Meat market " was probably a poor choice of words. We were going to go to a

club where boomers dance. The people are supposed to be good people, but any

place like that has it's share of people just looking for a pick-up, which is

definitely not my ball game. When you get divorced at 50, either you learn to go

out again or you sit home alone for the rest of your life.

sara, sounds like you are doing an awesome job.  About getting divorced after 50, I would go to the seniors picnics, and granted many of them were 70, 80, 90, they were nice and non judgemental people.  After I went there twice I got a phone call from one of the gentleman who is only 2 years older than me, and we having been dating for 10 years! He's really great and we just hit it off. There are other places to go rather than clubs.  I also went to a program the college put on for seniors and there were a lot of nice people there.  My volunteer job also was nice.  Good luck, think outside the box.  Sandy

Sandy,thanks for the suggestions. I'm still working, teaching second grade, so

I'm awfully tired in the evenings, but one more year and I'll be retired. You

story gives me hope for the future when often I feel like it's all over.
