Hey Busting? How you holding up? It's funny how everything takes on different proportion now that they've left.

A few days ago, it was the first rain of the rainy season around here. My thoughts were instantly taken back to a moment I hadn't though about in years. !0 years ago, the year I met my W, we'd been together for 7 months by this time of year and we'd never seen a day of rain together. On the first day of the rainy season, we were so happy we went out in the back yard and danced naked in the rain, in the middle of the night.

I'm in tears thinking about it now. The thing is, that moment is still there, in my life. No one can take it away. No one can alter it. And no one can make me forget it. It's become a part of who I am, and perhaps part of the reason I'm doing what I'm doing now.

I'm using that moment, and the many other moments like this one to give me strength and resolve through this.

By the way, that moment 10 years ago happened almost exactly 3 years after my first divorce, during which I was convinced I would never feel happiness again.
