What I know -
1) it's really good that I'm ready
to think about what makes for a fulfilling, satisfying life - PROGRESS!
2) I have 3 wonderful pets at home,
& I'm happy to take care of them, but I realized I don't want to spend 2
hrs a week taking care of more cats.
What Cindy's doing at PetSmart is a
good thing - within an extremely small space, & I'm curious about the
facility at Petco, so I'm going to check it out.
3) what I really want/need is connections
to people... some of this is by phone, some hopefully in person.
I like doing more things with my
husband, Ron -
I'm going to attend another Shabbat
service with him. There's also a program
on Wed. called Lunch & Learn that I'm going to try, again with Ron.
Getting reconnected a bit with our congregation
would be very nice.
4) I'm not ready to do 2 outings in
1 day, but by doing the above, I'll be doing 4 or 5 outings in a week more frequently
- PROGRESS
5) volunteering is a good thing to
do, & I may find something that feels right for me at some point, but not now.
6) Focus - forward - I need to focus
on what's good for me NOW. My life may
look very different, eventually, from what I'd once thought would be, &
that's OK. That recognition in itself is,
actually, a BIG step of progress.
