Hi all

Mikael and I are about to divorce, so I am packing my stuff here already.
There is no fighting or anything nasty..so things are pretty okay.

New apartment is already checked out and it was nice.
YouŽll see pictures here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/janettemetso/sets/72157600775013528/) (furnitures etc are not mine)

Now I need to learn to live / be alone...which I have hated all my life time...
get new furnitures and decors....

Hi Janette so sorry to hear about things like this. l'm glad there is no fighting but it does not make everything o.k. it's tough when you are first living on your own l went through it many years ago and my daughter went through it last year however if its any comfort she loves living on her own now. we are here for you and any time you want to talk please everyone here is great and we will be here for you, if there is anything we can do for you just ask. sometimes you may just want someone to listen to you and that is o.k. it helps to talk. my name is Cathy and l will be gone Sat and Sun. but back on Monday, but l'm sure the ladies here will help. please just know you are not alone. l will be praying for you and hope to hear from you soon

Hi Janette. Divorce is stressful and moving is stressful. I've done both. Just remember that you are not alone. You have good friends here.

Janette,
So sorry to hear this news.
Wish I could help you. I guess by being "here" is the best I can do, since I'm not planning any trips to Finland!
Good luck with the move. Your new place looks very nice!

Don't think of it as living alone, think of it as having all the time you want to stamp!!! I'm sorry to hear about your divorce, I hope that it stays on good terms and no arguing.

This is the time to lean on family and friends for support.. go to dinner and be out and about with people you are close to until you are used to being alone. Sorry about the divorce, but is sounds like you have reconciled it with yourself and are moving on!

Best of luck!

I will keep you in my thoughts! Sounds like you are ok with everything. New beginnings are always scary, but I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason and something wonderful will come from this!
Best of luck!

Janette, first of all my prayers are with you in this trying time. You will be fine, it's a new adjustment in your life. You sound very positive and if he is still your friend, then more power to you. Occupy your mind doing things you enjoy, I understand that it may be hard to concentrate while taking such a big step. I remember crocheting day and night (this was before stamping came along) and I always kept busy. Of course I also had Myrna tugging on me, so friends are also a great help. Yes, been there, done that... I was on my own for 6 years before I remarried a wonderful man. The first one was an abusive wife beater so I left as soon as I could.

In these times people should at least realize how important friends are!

Thank you Myrna (and all)

I have a wishlist now in my profile page. There is also my addy.
I realized that I have to put pc table for my bedroom and craft table for livingroom...bedroom was not enough for my crafty things :huh:

My name is Darlene.I am sorry that you are going through this. But I must say that I loved living on my own. I had to move back in with my parents a couple of months ago. I lived on my own with my 11 y.o. daughter for 3 years and I really enjoyed "my time". It was nice to not have to answer to anyone or to be able to do what I wanted instead of compromising all the time. Look at this as a new beginning, getting in touch with yourself and finding out maybe more things that you like to do that you never got to try before.
Good luck!

Darlene, thanks for sharing your story. I think that I need to find myself too...at least now I have found my dream career (silversmith) but all those courage and strength is still missing.

Updating: I have signed my apartment contract and and I am almost ready to move...I will get the key on 30th day so I try to get moving help for that day. I have cried and hated my life...almost hated the city where I live too...crying helped a lot!

think of all the advantages of living alone--I went through what you are going through now, --a long time ago. It turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. Thank God for family and friends. You'll be better off in the long run. Have faith and stay in touch--patty

It will be great living alone... enjoy "your" time. I visited your blog and noticed all the fun stuff in your craft area, you seem to have enough craft material to hold you for a very long time. You will be fine after you get organized in your new apartment. Good Luck!

Sending you good wishes for an easy move and a peaceful life in your new place. It's been a long time since I lived alone, but I did love that everything was where I left it...including the ice cream.
