I look at people like @Smiley, @Thinker, @A&K, @Serenity, @GIMA, @mindblank, etc., etc., (sorry if I didn't call you out by name, as I think this is true in more cases than not) and think to myself that as different as the situations are, each will end up in a far better place than each could ever imagine at this point, whether or not that is in a new relationship with the old WAS or with a new partner.
As long as we don't give up on ourselves, we WILL be okay... and I think, more than okay... I think we will thrive. And, for that we can thank all of the "Old Pros" who coax/cajole and 2X4 us each and every day into not giving up on ourselves...
Like I said, I could be delusional on this, but, heck, it keeps me going...
My friend I think you are correct...
I couldn't even begin to imagine life with a new person however that may be what the future holds...
It may be the same husband who is a new person or a new man all together however I will be a better person because of this...
I will be a stronger woman because of this...
I will be a better mother because of this...
I have more faith then I ever did before...
I have more strength then I ever thought possible...
I have inner peace and that came from within...
I have courage to face each day instead of hide from it...
I have the wisdom of the people who have been here longer then me...
I have the generosity of those same people who come here and share with me (and all of us) the ways I am doing right and the ways I am doing wrong...
I have the security of the love I receive from God...I also have his protection because he will never let me fall flat on my face...
In my heart, I know we will all be just fine.
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
