AMA and Penman, I have found over the years that what seems to be a calamity at the moment, was really the closing of a door for that period of my life....now a new door is waiting for you to open. You are now free to reassess your true life goals and desires.
Here are a few books that have helped me deal with change in the same situation:
"Who Moved My Cheese?" Spencer Johnson, M.D. "Where is God When it Hurts?" Philip Yancey "The Psychology of Winning" Denis Waitley
