A few thoughts...

On a side note, during Dating Detox I have had a few thoughts and what I call "small epiphanies"
They include the following:

1. I'm changing and I like it.
2. I can't change anyone... people wont change unless they want too.
3. I am learning to live in the moment, not in the past... .still working on the future part.
4. I love taking care of myself, mentally, physically and emotionally.
5. I enjoy reflection, but not consumption of past behaviors and treatment.
6. I like to smile.
7. I have learned to listen to people who have my best interest at heart.
8. I will learn from my mistakes.
9. Time is all I have... which is of the essence.
10. I like to fill my days with positive things, people and events..
11. optimism is key, not cynicism.
12. I like finding who I am... by myself.

Dating Detox has been fun and I have about 15 days left... but I already feel different. I remember on a daily basis that this process is for myself, for my own happiness, and my fulfillment. I cannot and will not be happy with someone else, until I find my self-worth and "Happy Place" as Patti dubs it... so, 15 days left... what's left?
