God Bless you Cinders and your family. I am so pleased you had a good holiday.
I am thrilled you had an awakening. "Life is too short to sit and wait."
I have been trying to impress this on people today. Life is for living, not sitting and waiting or doing nothing equating that with being still. Not saying you did at all. Its a fine balance but I so passionately believe that we have to move on and live the life God gave us.
We all have to be thankful for the life we had and look forward to what will come next whilst living in the now.
Life is change, seasons come and go,ever evolving. Who knows why sometimes our partners change and take a different path. It happens. So go and shine your light for all to see.
