Why did I get that notice?

I am sure you didn't miss anything Cynthia. At least nothing you couldn't do for yourself. ;)

I'm so happy that some of us are at the stage when we can laugh about them. I'm totally over it and I'm here to help others pull through the rough spots.

So ladies, it will be rough for a while but believe me, you will get there. There are no short-cuts when it comes to healing from heartache and disappointment.

It does help to remember that it is not the responsibility of another person to make you happy. Happiness is not an external thing...it is within you and only you have those keys. If you are dependent on an outside entity to make you happy, please know that it's temporary and is sure to end in heartache.

I'll always remember this definition of a successful relationship (can't recall the author).
"Two people who stand alone, who choose to stand together."

In other words, you both have to be independent, financially and emotionally and all the other alleys. Can you see now why it cannot work with the majority of the rats?

Have a wonderful week and get outside and just breathe, smile even when you are hurting...life is too short; and youth is even shorter, to be wasted on these undeserving rats.
