I didn't actually realize today was the Solstice...but I think today has marked a return to the days of light and life for me. Maybe I'll write about it...Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-43289930002199514222006-12-21T14:42:00.000-06:002006-12-21T14:42:00.000-06:00Hi Cynthia,
Magdalene here. I appreciate your sto...Hi Cynthia,<br /><br />Magdalene here. I appreciate your stopping by my blog. I've been reading some of your posts, and I have been so moved... we have much, much in common.<br /><br />Tuesday was the one year anniversary of my divorce. It was a separation and divorce I didn't want; my ex fell in love with a co-worker. We saw a counselor for 10 months before he moved out in February 2004. I have to say: my first experience after he moved out was the shock of finding there was more air to breathe in the house, and that I was happier than I'd been in a long time. Within a couple of months I had this thought: I don't want the story of my life to be that S. left me and I never got over it. I believe God has a better life planned for me than that. And you know what? I was right. I am happier today than I have ever been before. Residual sadness, sure. But essentially, very happy. And S. and I have a good and cordial relationship (we both kept the kids as our priority, and for us, that makes all those kinds of decisions easy.<br /><br />None of which is to say my story has to be your story. But I just wanted to offer a perspective from someone who is several years down the road from the most traumatic Christmas of my life (2003, when he was getting ready to tell me he was leaving). Your path may be completely different. But i promise you there is life down that path, one way or another.<br /><br />Also, I'm on a diet. But that's for another time....!Magdalene6127https://www.blogger.com/profile/11036211735489393308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-4832994838043818542006-12-21T11:12:00.000-06:002006-12-21T11:12:00.000-06:00Cynthia: Go here: http://magdalenesmusings.blogs...Cynthia: Go here: http://magdalenesmusings.blogspot.com/Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.com
