Sadness...

I don't know why I do this to myself. Today after 4 months I finally went to the pregnancy and parenting message boards and visited the August 2007 expecting club. It was the board I had been visiting before my miscarriage. Since I am home alone, I think the sadness really hit me again.
I try to remember my belief that all things happen for a reason. During the last few months I have really learned a lot about myself and my goals. I also realized I can't keep planning for the life I'll lead when I "lose the weight." Life is giving me so many opportunites right now, and I have to stop passing by those gifts.
On a positive note, I don't think any other experience could have affected me more deeply or given me more motivation to stay on track. It's amazing how the desire to have a healthy pregnancy and child can overpower the temptation I once struggled with. I feel like fate finally hit me over the head hard enough to knock me out of the fog I've been in for 20+ years.
Does anyone else have a powerful life experience that helps them along this journey?

I remember having a similar feeling when DH and I first gave up on IF treatments and decided to pursue adoption.
