1. Silver threads and golden needles...

Wait...nevermind. I've heard that doesn't work.

2. drink the waters of Lethe

3. Find the silver lining

Find the silver lining:





Look for the color in a sunset:





Start a garden:





Take a vacation:

4. Get a new one.

A new sweet heart, that is.

5. Take time, heal yourself, maybe find somebody better.

It sucks, but it's all you can do.

6. ask to be shown what it is I'm supposed to learn from the experience

That is what I do when I get fixated on someone only to find out they aren't 'the one' that I thought they were. My mantra lately has been 'show me, show me, show me' as in show me what I am supposed to learn from this, so I can learn it and move on. It just takes time. Having a new crush doesn't hurt. :hug: :hug: :hug:

7. LOTS of Jim Beam and some Guys Gone Wild

It won't really mend a broken heart, but it'll help a battered ego.... which IMHO, is one of the first steps to healing. Almost everyone who has been dumped questions their self worth at one time or another. I don't know if "dumped" applies to you or not, just guessing.. but broken heart usually = dumped ....if you broke up with them, you're usually not gonna be too broken hearted about it...

Good luck to you, my friend... it will get better

PEACE!
