Thanks kat – good time to take stock.

New Year 2000 shepherded in developments that culminated, at long last, at the beginning of November, in my moving out of the marital home into my own tiny cottage and haven of peace.

Stress / depression reappeared with return to work in September and I've been on sick leave since mid-Sept. This is giving me the opportunity to reassess mylife after 21 yrs of marriage. Don't know where I'm going- but it's going to be ME doing it.

It's sad, but also a major accomplishment- I found the confidence and courage to do what I should have done a long time ago, confidence developed in no small way due to friendship and support from friends in this wonderful place.
