I can see that I need to, but it's a pretty frightening prospect. The idea of going away on my own for a while is getting more and more appealing, partly because I could take the time to let it all hang out without having to worry about the other people in my life intruding on my insanity. It would probably be a very good thing! Lisa Hilly,

I had a whole weekend of pity, anger, sadness, more icky feelings and sleeping and crying, blah blah. Once I dealt with the initial sting of it all, I threw that jar away. For good. These days, if I even get one or two things piled up like that, I want to go crazy. I think you just have to put one foot in front of the other for awhile and deal with things as they come. After that, it will become second nature. <abbr><em>Hilly´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/snackiepoo/~3/432734100/" rel="nofollow">Snackie Sunday #65: Reader’s Choice</a></abbr></em> Here’ what I did (cause you know I am a former jar person myself)…one day when everyone was out of town and I was home on my own with nowhere to go, I opened my jar.
