"...my father told me 'you will have a future, you will live a life'...
I was thinking of the disaster as a horrible mistake, as an unscripted deviation from the happy story of the life I had been promised. But now I began to understand that my ordeal ..was not an interruption of my real destiny, or a pervertion of what my life was supposed to be.
It simply was my life.
And the future that lay ahead was the only future available to me. To hide from this fact or to live in bitterness and anger would only keep me from living any genuine life at all.
...It was not the life I wanted or expected but I understood that it was my duty now to live that life as richly and as hopefully as I could. I would live with passion and curiosity, I would open myself to the posibilities of life, I would savor every moment."
I loooooooooooooooooove that quote!!!!
It's wonderful to hear how you're staying active and involved with the children and in your own life. Having God by your side is always a good one!
Isn't odd when the divorce becomes paper rather than emotion and angst? That it all becomes surreal?
Ex had years to contemplate his departure and moved on well before he moved out. It's not about what the wayward spouse or ex does, it's about how you, I, anyone chooses to spend your, mine, their lives.
Welcome to the life you're meant to have... in all the good and radiant ways!
