Chowhound is right about the negative self talk. Anyway, if I were you I would be dancing and celebrating that after 25 miserable years you are finally free. Free as a bird!
I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to find a replacement if I were you, lest you end up with another jack ass wasting more good years of your life. Take some time for yourself and learn to appreciate and enjoy what having peace of mind feels like.
Feeling a lot better today. Thank goodness!!!!! No skiing, too windy and cold. But doing other fun stuff, and going my merry ways again. Hormones can be a bear!
Thanks to all who posted words of support and encouragement!! Great bunch you are!
