Lately I've been writing about how miserable I am 2 1/2 mos after the break up. Well, today I took a 4hr kayaking class with my best friend. We had so much fun, the weather was great and the instructor was very good looking and friendly. Of course at the end of the class I realized I hadn't thought about him and was freaking out b/c I didn't know what I was going to do after, but I'm ok. I'm just proud of myself for going out there and creating new memories and trying something new. Hope others are doing something to keep their minds off the exes...even if for a little bit. <<>> to everyone.

Congratulations!!! Thats fantastic that you got to go do something fun and not think about him at all. I did that a few weeks ago with mutual friends of ours. Felt so great afterwards when you realized that you had a lot of fun and didn't think about him at all! Keep up the great work. It keeps getting easeir. I'm almost at 6 months now and it is a distant memory now becuase I haven't seen him in so long. It's still hard at times when I think about what hes doing or what we did last year at this time but those thoughts have been getting shorter and farther between. We are survivors! Continue kayaking and having a good time with friends!

That is so great! It gives me hope. Sometimes I wish I had a fast-forward button for the times when it get really rough, but I am so thankful for great friends. Good for you for achieving that step and thank you for making it known that it gets better...YAY, there's hope yet!!!
