One Year of Divorce

[Golfgirl1]

Well, tomorrow will be one year since my divorce was final after 21 years of marriage. I still have my ups and downs, but I'm moving forward, happy and content, and just watching my new life unfold. Do I sometimes wonder about him? Yep, but I let those emotions wash over me and move to the present. This weekend I'm going to Moab and in June my best friend and I will take a road trip to NC to visit family and friends. I am doing all kinds of things I never thought I would. I truly believe I am not meant to be alone, but I must sit back and be patient. I'm giving back by mentoring other women going through a divorce and that brings me such healing. What's next?? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out. Thanks to all of you for your support through all the tough times!

I let those emotions wash over me

Interesting thought...emotions can wash us up.

Hey GG, Power to you! My one year anniversary was 4/20. I thought it was 4/24, and felt so bad on the 20th that I started thinking something must be up, and sure enough, and I checked my calendar from last year...the divorce was final on the 20th.

Here's to doing things differently! Life can be better without the X in some ways...I've started to see the affair as a kind of grace...I never would have gotten a divorced without it, but I'm freer now. Even if dating is depressing!

Anyway, hope your day was OK today...here's to a new and better future!

Hi GG,

I am coming up on one year D sometime this month. I dont even know the exact date , he was gone well before the paperwork came in the mail so whatever.

I also hate dating but I think that this is just part of the emotional healing. Or, at least I hope that it is-lol.

Dating is much different now then when may of us last did it and people are far more cunning and savvy now a days. Try to go with the flow, have no expectations and be open to having fun.

Take care,
Ever

You would be surprised how healing it is to have a guy draw you a bath, sprinkle it with rose petals and surround the tub with candles, then climb in with you Dating can definitely be fun!!!

Woo hoo!! That sounds wonderful....I'm with you on how healing that must be. I'm afraid I'm not thinking it's on the horizon just yet, but soon; maybe mid-summer? Thanks for sharing that visual!
