When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

You know, sometimes we just don't end up where we think we will. That is okay. We get to where we are supposed to be regardless. Ithink I told you guys about this lady I met while I worked at the bank. I had just started a new position of opening accounts and she was one of the first people I helped. Her husband was cheating and left her and as you can imagine she was a mess. She kept breaking down (boy do I understand that now)!

Anyway, I ran into her last Spring. I remembered her name and everything and she remembered that she knew me from the bank. She said it took her a couple of years, and then she started to feel better. Finally about three years out she found it within herself to forgive her ex and the OW. Shortly after she had someone throw her a surprise birthday party...it was her boss. His marriage had failed a bit earlier and she had never thought of him as anything more than her boss, though obviously, they were friends and had talked each other through stuff.

Turns out he was attracted to her and wanted to date her. They have been married a few years now and she can't believe marriage was able to be sooo good.

The idea here while it suits us all to a T, is that she hadn't a clue where she would end up. she got herself to where she felt good. She let go of the anger and forgave. I have a feeling she also managed to forgive herself as well. Then doors began to open, or perhaps they had been open a while but she was so hurt she wasn't able to see what was available to her. I believe that is true for many of us.

Hope this true story helps you. kat
