Do the things you have always wanted to do but haven't. Make a list of things that you haven't had the courage to do or have been too shy to do. Take classes, learn to dance or paint. If you ever get stuck or depressed, volunteer to help others. It's a great way of getting perspective on life. Good luck. This could be a great time for you and your children. Enjoy the time you have together, even if it's tough being a single mom. There are some good things about it. Be a role model for your kids. Everyone faces difficult times in life and this is a good opportunity to show your kids how to get through them.

Aside from your responsibilities, above all else, have fun! I am having more fun now then I ever did when I was a teen. I don't know where you live, but here in Dallas there is so much to see and do that I am always on the go having a blast. Check your Friday newspaper and find an outlet/place to get involved with. Have fun, laugh, enjoy life while you can. The last I knew, we only had 1 on this earth.

Congratulations on the next step of your life! Divorce is never fun, I know but take your time and think about the things you may have always wanted to do but haven't. Depending upon the age of your children or child, you have many, many options to choose from. Talk to your family and close friends, ask them what they think. Make a list, include everything they tell you along with your own thoughts. Once you have this and can think about it, start to pursue some of these things. You don't have to rush into anything. Take your time and choose what is best for you and your children.
Good luck and enjoy the rest of your life!

Go do things you've always wanted to do. Change things you've always wanted to change. It's fun! Get out of the house and enjoy the time being able to enjoy everything you like. There's no need to make a plan, things will happen for you. Remember too, that just because you are divorced does not mean you are free from emotions. Allow yourself as much time as needed to find yourself again.

Whatever you do, don't look for another relationship right now. Do things that you've always wanted to try. Do something outrageous, something that is totally out of character. Then settle down and focus on what the next phase of your life should be. Remember, it's a new start, make it matter. Good luck

I went back to school, and put the dating thing to side. Hell, I still don't care much for dating. I am in the process of becoming a self-made woman without a man by my side. It';s the best thing I ever did for myself!

how about a makeover and a new outfit. there is nothing in the world that makes you feel more confident. get a new hair cut and color. after that, give yourself some time to figure out what you are going to do. don't go crazy, that's where mid-life crisis's start.

most people are not sure what directions to take with their life, and do not realize this.
most people just follow what happens to them /reactive... and make spontaneous response and decisions /choices.
not many really plan their life /pro active, and has the chance to live it. not all people have such 'luck'.
so, for you, just concentrate on something 'useful' for you, do not waste time... do whatever good things you like... there will be signs... and then you make choices /decisions, move on, then another signs.. choices/decision... move on... and so on... be positive and always happy.
