Today is the "anniversary"....the day my heart broke.
I had planned on giving myself a mental health day today....just do whatever I wanted, or do nothing. Just sit and cry, sit and watch TV, eat like a pig. But it's really just been a day like any other.
Happy for me, sad for my kids.....getting out of my marriage, getting on with my life.

That's a good thing, right?? Just think of how far you have come in a year! You're doing great! My "anniversary date" is the 2/21 ... I was thinking about you all weekend and hoping you were doing well. Take care!
progress takes many forms. glad it wasn't a sit and cry day, or pig out day. although, shoot, that coulda been fun ; )
interesting twist on the day after V-day:
from http://halfirishrover.blogspot.com/2009/02/emily-dickinsons-alleged-letter-and-my.html
Come to Your Senses Day is a newly revived holiday allegedly inspired by a letter written by Emily Dickinson to her friend in 1847, in which she wrote "What was I thinking? How could I have been so taken with a man so full of himself? There ought to be a respite day. A day in which one can come to one's senses..." A librarian allegedly stumbled upon the letter and recruited friends to secretly celebrate this holiday. Allegedly, Dorothy Parker picked up on the idea in the mid-1930's and designated February 15th the official date to celebrate the sentiment. The reason I keep throwing in the allegedly is that I'm not so sure that this all happened, or if it is a clever marketing ploy to create a history to promote the book.
