Weekend...

I hope everyone has a fun, safe weekend...STAY STRONG! I'm planning on spending mine with a few of my closest friends--a couple of girls I went to highschool with are coming to stay with me tonight...and tomorrow night, my best guy friend (our relationship is PURELY platonic) is coming as well. He's truly a wonderful, GOOD guy...hopefully he'll revive my faith in the opposite sex! :) Remember how fabulous each and every one of you are...you don't need a guy to feel fulfilled or worthwhile. You were fine without your ex in the past, and you will be even better in the future! Take care <3

"You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad. Love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong, just remember life goes on."

"Letting go is being thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, made you strong. It's about all that you have, all that you had, all that you will soon gain. It's having the courage to accept change, to keep moving. It isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It's not about pride, or blocking memories. No feelings of regret or anger. Letting go is not giving up...it's accepting...learning...and growing up."

Thanks so much for the warm, weekend wishes. You have a good one too!! I'm going to try my best to stay away from him. Maybe I'll work on really long lists. One list will be of all the things I really didn't like about him. (For instance, he couldn't stand to eat fish and fish of almost any type is really my favorite food and one of the only things I like to cook!) Anyway, I'll make one long list of things I could't stand about him and another long list of all the qualities I want in a mate. Then I'll compare the two! That should keep me off the phone, email and IM! Thanks again.

You are absolutely right--letting go will only make you stronger, and better in the end. It's perfectly normal to think about your ex sometimes, just as long as you don't let those thoughts prevent you from moving on with your life. I'm glad that your pain and your tears are slowly fading...and I hope you have a really good weekend. Good luck! :)

Oh, you're so very welcome :) Thanks for your warm wishes as well...I really hope you have a great weekend--remember to stay strong, okay? Work on those lists...and I hope you realize a couple of things because of them--1) why you're better off without him...and 2) why he's going to regret letting you go in the future. Because you are a strong, wonderful woman who is going to make someone else extremely happy someday...once you make yourself happy, that is! :) Take care <3
