The journey begins

[ClingingToHope]

Not much to report today. I slept in. Worked out casually. Took a shower. It's cold so there's not much to do so I headed in to work to get ahead for the week.

I have a couple of fun things planned tonight.

I posted this in another forum. Sunday is the one year anniversary of me getting kicked out. It happened on Mother's Day last year.

Time truly does heal. I like my townhouse. I'm pulling myself together again at work. I am excited -- actually excited -- about my financial plan to handle things post D. I have second jobs to help me through the year that help me get in shape and socialize.

And I've found a number of different things to do and that should only grow with more time.

I woke up this morning truly proud of myself.

My STBXW? This will be her trying year, what with selling the house, paying off the mounting legal credit card bills, dealing with the finality of the D with the girls. If the house sells then she has to move into a smaller place. It'll be interesting to see how she turns out.

Tomorrow I am going to church, visit my mother at the cemetery and, if the weather is good, play tennis. If it's bad, I'm going shopping to spend some of the gift cards my sister sent me.

I'm sure the D process will intrude on my peace and we do have a big tax bill to get paid and of course there are summer camps to worry about.

But I can counter those down times with softball, time with the girls, my singles group through church, golf, Sunday bags game at a friend's house, trips to Chicago to see friends, poker nights when nothing else pans out and -- someday a new love interest.

The grass is greener where I stand.
