[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 146056, member: 805"] I think one key is beginning the day in a postive note. For me that means giving thanks upon waking for opening my eyes and having the ability to put my feet on the floor. Express hope that the this time you and difficult child are seperated will be a time of positive change for her and one that will build a strong relationship between the two of you. This begins the day with a postive thought. I'm sorry that I don't remember, but do you work outside the home? If not, begin the day with a nice long walk. Whether you live in the city, country, or somewhere inbetween, there are things you can take in that you might not have noticed before when you walk. If you do work outside the home, come home and walk in the evening. now that it is lighter for a longer period of time, you can fit it in before dark. Sometimes, at least for me, by beginning the day with positive thoughts and thanks for what I do have good in my life followed with something good for me, allows me to to accomplish more during the day. It gives me the incentive to clean the fridge, or do a few scrapbook pages, or do some gardening, or tackle some sewing. It makes me more productive at the office on the two days I work. It makes me a little happier. How about going in and cleaning out difficult child's closet and drawers or sorting through her toys? For me, that could take a couple days!! What about a project for her - maybe a quilt for her bed or a photo alblum of the two of you. It will channel your thoughts in a good way. If you enjoy cooking, how about trying two or three new recipes a week. Research some things you've never tried before and have fun experimenting. I hope you are able to find some things that help you recharge during this time so you are your best when Abbey returns. Sharon [/QUOTE]
