Great post Pyrite. You will be happy again. We all will.
Some days I hate motivational quotes, some days I really do spend some time on them.
Yesterday I read, "When things appear to be falling apart, them may just be falling into place."
In hindsight I can go back and see how the end of past relationships led to incredible new relationships, new life events, and developed into parts of my life that I never though would be possible. Now those new parts define me positively.
We just never know. I think for all of us LBS's we thought we were done with change the day we got M. I used to tell my W how happy I was having that box checked, knowing that the "family" part of my life was secure and now I could just focus on other areas. Now it's all up in the air. Kids? Who knows. A new M someday? Who knows. Reconciliation? Who know.
You're right, all we can do is put our best foot forward and keep living well today.
Loved your post.
