Hi Betsey! Both Miami and Denver have large airports with flights between every day! I say come on down! It would be so fun to actually meet you.
Thanks for your kind words. I have known since the beginning that I didn't intend to turn into an angry bitter person over this. Yes, I had some things to work through, but as time goes on my M becomes part of my back story but not part of my future. And I can choose to have a happy, peaceful future.
The one thing that still pains me is to see couples that have been married 50+ years who still show love an affection openly towards one another. I know they've been through times as tough as these, but they were both committed to make it work. And that's the only difference in their M and mine. And sometimes that just breaks my heart. It probably always will.
I am friends with a couple who have been through some tough times - unexpected death of their 16 year old daughter, cancer, job loss, losing their home for finances. And yet, they are still together and seemingly so happy and loving towards one another. I admire them a great deal.
And yet, I know that my story is not either one of these. My story is to say "this happened to me" and I learned these things from it. I am truly grateful that my eyes have been opened to so many things, that I'm no longer living in the very small box that I was. A box I chose to stay in, but limiting nonetheless. I am free to be me, I am free to choose a better R, I am free to live a happy peaceful life. I'm grateful for all that.
