		<description>@mauve: Take heart and give it time. Everything looks better a few months - or years - later. The world hasn&#039;t yet picked itself up out of the economic slump so if that is one of the major causes of your stress, rest assured you aren&#039;t alone. How about using the time instead, to look back, reflect on what has happened, address any repressed issues? That&#039;s the best way to start the healing process. I wish you all the very best of luck.</description>

		<description>@themadmomma: *Sigh* It&#039;s not like I had a choice! Disappointment is a heavy burden to carry. But I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. </description>

		<description>going according to plan is rather overrated. my life seems to be according to plan you know. i didnt plan it that way - but it ended up taking that shape. married by 24, two kids by 27, back at work by 30 - and yet - there are a zillion little hitches along the way that make you wonder what made u think this was the ideal plan..  
 
i think you&#039;re doing a fantastic job....of living without a guideline </description>
