I think by releasing this book unto the publisher, I have completed a big step, but...Now What? Some of this process is not totally the book, but I finally had a great counseling session with my 37 year old daughter on Saturday. The counselor said stuff would come up, and he's not kidding!"
I woke up this a.m. at 5:15 feeling off and crying. I tried meditation, that didn't work...true true sadness. I finally got up and did some detail on the book for the publisher - a good distraction - but then more crying.
I tried some retail therapy at Costco - not helpful, too many people there -- but I did eat up all the samples! :-)
Just got back from a good workout at the gym and I do feel better. I have this need to blog. So you might see a little bit more of this in my blog. I think I'll trip over to yours. Again, welcome! Everything is happening exactly the way it should.
