My life needs a tune up!!! Suggestions welcomed...
Feeling like I need to evaluate what path I take next and wondering how in the heck am I gonna get there? I got divorced in March after a year long seperation and a 7-year marriage, he got someone else pregnant in April (that didn't take long),... I keep myself drowning in my work, shopping and board committees because I don't care for the bar scene anymore, so my social life is now in a funk (not because of the bar scene thing but because I don't know where to start)... I'm thinking it may be time to get out there and do something different for a change, think outside of the box... so yes, this is kinda like a classified or craigslist ad... My life needs a tune up!!! Suggestions welcomed from anyone whose walked in the shoes of being in a similar funk!!!
One more thing... it's been months since I've been on KiddNation (another result of my being in a funk! LOL) but I've met some great people on this site so although I've been MIA for awhile I am looking foward to getting back in touch with my past online friends and meeting new ones!

I should take it a step farther! Thx for the compliment... I try to keep a positive attitude and definetely am set on working on me and that fun personality! Which for one has led me here... thx for the great feedback!

Hey Sylvia!
I've been there. What I would do is do EVERYTHING you have ever wanted to do, but your marriage held you back. It's okay to spend time alone. In fact, you need to learn to like your own company. But make yourself go somewhere once a week even if it's the movies by yourself or to dinner. I went to see the Rangers by myself because my ex hated them, and had a wonderful time! I bought purple furniture. I got a new hairdo. I went back to school. I started working out. I went on roadtrips with my girlfriends. None of these were compatible with my first marriage.
Give yourself a tune up. Work on YOU and your happiness. You can't change the past, but you can move forward. The best medicine in being dumped is having a blast without them.
Also, something that really got me out of the dumper was doing volunteer work. Find something that touches your heart and help with it. You will find by focusing on those less fortunate, you will find out how good your life really is. It helps keep things in perspective.
And don't look for love again. Focus on living your life to the fullest and it will find YOU.
Good luck to you, and message me anytime.
