Good morning because it is!
It's the start of your new life. The first day of the fabulous new life you are going to carve out for yourself.
Maybe you didn't sleep too good but it will come. In the meanwhile have a look at this article

I suggest that you buy some ignatia and some pulsatilla. I've beenusing homeopathic remedies for 40 years and I think they are brilliant.
Boots, holland and Barrett or an independent health shop should have them. When you are not sure what to do with homeopathy you can do something .
I also suggest getting some valerian tablets and lavender oil. Valerian is a non addictive herbal capsule to aid sleep and lavender essential oil is a great soother and calmer. Use when you feel upset in a little carrier oil such as sweet almond. You can sniff it, rub onto breast bone or wrists. A drop on your pillow at night.
I was thinking last night of asking you to write down all the positives in your life. Everything you are grateful for . Like Maslows triangle of needs you have the basic needs, food , warmth and shelter and so on. Every morning write down three things you are grateful for. Try to change the things every day. Concentrate on the positives and not dwell on the negatives.
When I went through my really awful time I had some sessions at mind. Have you a branch near you? I thought she was going to hold my hand and let me sob it all out ( I'm a bit of a pulsatilla type ) but instead she asked me what I wanted to do. I found myself really wanting to put the house straight it had had no serious decoration in 8 years but was putting it off because it meant knocking out a brick arch and brick fireplace. Well she got me to agree to ringing plasterers for quotes etc and with her initial support I went through every room in the house. I decluttered, re arranged, bought new stuff, got rid of anything he'd left behind. I had every room painted white. It was my fresh start and I literally painted him out of my life . I started with a blank canvas. It took well over a year but it was good to physically do things and the end result was fabulous. People came to help. It's amazing where the help comes from at times.
We also looked at what I wanted to do and I ended up taking sailing lessons. I've always loved boats and it was great. I was also in a fortunate position to be able to travel a fair bit so mum and I, or my daughter and family or friends and I went on holiday together. Looking back what were technically really sad years I made sure I made some wonderful memories and lasting friendships.
So yes, roundafewblocks, it's day one and the longest journey begins with the smallest step.
