[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 84795, member: 2211"] Thank you Barbara for all of your suggestions. I've printed it out and will explore a little. I do own the book Power of Now and several others along those lines...I guess it's time I picked them up again, since I'm reading like crazy anyway, right? Karen, I think that your suggestions are in line with what Barbara said as well, thank you. I have this book that my DR recommended to me called, "Finding Your North Star" or something like that. I'll dig it out. Janet, thank you for your kind words about me. It lifted my spirits a bit. I think you may be on to something with me and the empty house. H works hard all day and just wants to chill in the evenings, but I'm still going, you know? It's a bit lonely at times. busywend, I've been thinking about what I want to do and what I want to do it go back to school to study Reike and Homeopathic Medicine. It takes money I don't have right now. Obviously I have the time - lol. In the meantime, I've been researching and reading related material for years. In the meantime, till I can afford the tuition costs, I do need to find other things that bring me joy and fill my time and fulfill me. I'm working on it. I have always thought that I would enjoy working or volunteering at a women/children's shelter in nearby Hartford. Each year I do a donation collection for them at the holiday time and we donate funds to them in lieu of Christmas gifts with my family. Incidentally, I love canning! I did a ton of it last year with the harvest from my garden and some things from a local organic farmer. I will be doing some of that as well soon in preparation for the holidays.
