I'm doing 35 things
I was, but not for him. I started it up again with an old flame, one who had caused me a lot of anguish at one point, but we talked about it before getting involved, it was all so deliberate…too deliberate, maybe. I fell desperately for him, and I know his feelings were strong too for a while..but our stubbornnesses are equal and if not opposite, certainly different enough to cause major problems. 5 months after a blissful start I was single once more, and two months after that I’m still letting go. I’ve got to somehow learn what “emotionally ready” feels like..or just not get involved! Sounds so depressing! – I do believe however that once I’m not thinking about him like this anymore, the spontaneity necessary for a new love will be possible again:)

I think volunteering counts!

Someday I’ll work a whole season (or more) again, but once weekly is filling that void for me at the moment.
this seems to be a very hard task for me

when i’m running regularly it’s fine, but if i stop for anything – sickness, a visit, anything...it’s over until I decide to start the whole thing again. Maybe perceiving it as a “whole thing” is part of the problem…?
