Almost a year since D

Hope everyone here is hanging on / getting by / moving forward:)

Update... March 21st came and went and I absolutely, TOTALLY forgot it was the one-year anniversary of my divorce! How's THAT for progress? Did think of it a few days later BUT it was just a fleeting thought. This was a good thing!

I have been through the ringer these last two years with my son. I am now in Panama City Beach, Florida with him and some family friends. I am pleased to report my son is the novice of the group! And not only that - he doesn't show signs of wanting to get a spring break advanced degree:) Has not heard from his dad once this week - and he (and I) are perfectly ok with that! His loss - truly!

With all this being said, I recognize and accept it's time for me to begin taking care of myself in every way. Diet, exercise, mentally, spiritually, financially...there really can be no more excuses of "not enough time" or that I need to "take care of my son" etc. I watched a program the other night that basically said we sometimes get "stuck" because we hold on to our "story". I recognized myself in this and realized that I need to let go of this story. I am not the abandoned, deceived, betrayed, humiliated, less-than wife. I am someone with a blessed opportunity to start over and to genuinely, authentically live and breathe a life of my choosing.

Very lucky indeed...
