[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 602471, member: 13542"] Aww Jody, this is a really big change in your life, of course you will feel odd and a bit depressed even, let's face it, we humans don't do change well! Do yourself a big favor and don't believe those people who are talking about you, remember, [I]what they think of you is none of your business! [/I] You might look at this as the next chapter in your life, the children are on their own adventures, it's time for you to engage in yours.
