I am definately at peace. I felt peace before I went looking to date.
I have seen and heard excerpts - problem is I don't have many options when it comes to the debt. With recent law changes, the minimum payments are higher than they were. I owe A LOT. I am SO very angry at myself and XBF because 4 years ago I didn't have this debt. ggrrrrr
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
TMW: Just remind yourself that YOU ARE WORTH IT! Some of us end up with really great guys and wonder how we could be so lucky. Well guess what? We EARNED it!
I asked myself for weeks how did I get so lucky and now I stopped asking and I'm just thankful.

Just thought I'd drop a line and say hello. Things are wonderful, better than I could have ever imagined. I started taking classes. I may be up for a promotion of sorts(asking for prayers/wishes/positive thoughts on that )
One part of my brain that I wish I could just burn away is this part that remembers and focuses on dates. For example, the calendar this year is the exact same as it was 6 years ago. So I know that 6 years ago today is the day XH gave me the D papers.

Really, same calendar as 2005. Interesting. I was still coming to terms with a demotion and D8 was 3 and the ADHD stuff was just rearing its ugly head. I remember 2006 was good and December 2006 was great ... and then everything just died in 2007.
Dates, I think, will be tough for a long time.
Of course, eventually, you'll have new dates to celebrate.

Clinging - Yes, dates will be tough for a while. Some years, some days I won't remember. Then some years and sometimes after the date, I'll remember.
Fun memory, Friday 7/15/05 was when Harry Potter book 6 was released. Ironic that Friday 7/15/11 was when the final Harry Potter movie was released. Book 6 - it was one of the few good things I had to look forward to at the time. Sad but true.
Yes, new dates to celebrate. So true

Those dates all become less important over time. Yesterday would have been my 35th wedding anniversary. I just realized it. First year ever that I didn't remember. This is good - I have passed another mark.
One day it will be just Christmas Eve again. (& I don't mean you'd take that day lightly). But you will one day forget it was your anniversary when the day arrives.
It took me 10 years. A long, long time to get to this place. But I'm glad I finally arrived.
I was just reading back from last year...This weekend will be 1 year since that loser was booted out of my life. WOW - the difference a year makes, the difference 6 years makes....
I am in such a happy place, so thankful & grateful, so appreciative of the awesomeness that I have.
I am so thankful for all of you, I wish I would have listened SO MUCH sooner, but I had to learn & go through it & get there in my own time. And it made me so much more aware of getting exactly what I deserve - which I very much am
Just wanted to take that moment to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone.
