I think we all process those thoughts and feelings during this process, I certainly have. I know there are women out there who I would be very happy with, maybe even a better match...
Do I want to start over? No. Not really. Not yet.
Would I? Yes.
But I feel I have a need for some space before even driving up to that trailhead, IF I have to hike it.
I will need time to get W out of my system, and she is rather in my system still. For my sake, my kids sake, and any potential new partner's sake.
But I'm not there yet. Keeping my focus on today, aside from all my war gaming scenarios...naturally...
Just some meandering thoughts.
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus
Uncertainty is the very condition which impels people to unfold their powers.-Eric Fromm
