Just wanted to add my two cents. Enthusiasms really work for me. I love languages so, for my therapist's August vacation, I took up Bengali, which I have always wanted to learn more about.

The absence still hurt like hell, but at least I was distracted. In the language I found a whole new world to explore. I haven't talked with him about this, though - it is as if I want to keep it "mine". I think this is good, too -- to have enthusiasms of one's own apart from therapy.

I also find it helps to concentrate on small things, lively things, whatever you can find in your environment that connects you, as a living precious person, to the living world in some way. I feel like, we only get so much time - and it takes time to find (and enjoy) your bliss, whatever it might be.
