The year of not my problem

[AJM]

I was talking to a friend I met at the beginning of this who was also going through a divorce. Her husband cheated on her four times over the years. She is still in a bit of pain, but doing much better. I recalled the story of the Chinese farmer and his take on whether things are good or bad. His response was that it was too early to tell.
It was a good reminder for me as well, as I looked back at my thoughts and where I was many months back. I may not be "there" yet, but I am oh so much closer than ever before. I like me and my life. I really do. And there isn't anything that can change that. Things may be painful or difficult, but they won't knock me down in a death spiral like before.

I was at church tonight for my son's final confirmation class. We went to a neighboring church to use a labyrinth for prayer focus. Very helpful. I still try and pray to let her go the rest of the way. It helps. I very rarely think about her during the day, except of course with regards to things in the moment.

Very relaxed. Still waiting for the job offer to come in. Shouldn't be long. Getting excited...

later,
