Well I’ve done some more thinking about this whole forum participation thing and it’s entirely possible I over reacted (gosh no….ME? Emotional me over react? Oh it can’t be…). At my age, you would think I’d learn to temper my emotional response before hitting that “send” button!

Over the last couple of days I have had some very helpful and meaningful PM conversations with some Fabbers (thank you ladies - you know who you are!). As a result, I’ve started to wonder who on earth would really look for stuff about me/from me on the internet? Seriously…I’m not that interesting and I keep a low profile for the most part.

I do understand about being more careful what I say in relation to work – although I will be honest and say that I mentioned what I mentioned so that I could compare it with my own assessment of work attire. However, point taken. Won’t happen again.

I’m also going through a lot of upheaval in my life which is most likely causing me to be more sensitive and reactionary than normal. Although I positively LOVE my new position, leaving a job that I was in for 16 years has been more difficult than I bargained for. Additional stressors with my MIL’s health and the living situation hasn’t helped. In fact, the stress of the past two months has resulted in weight gain and a general feeling of being “lost”.

I realize now how much YLF is part of my life. I wore my new skirt suit yesterday for the first time and when I changed when I got home felt kind of sad that I hadn’t shown it to all of you.

Anyway…I would like to “eat crow” and come back – if you’ll have me?
