Joe's New Life

[Joe46]

Hello Everyone! It has been awhile since I posted here. I have been reading some on and off. Trying to catch up. It is so funny how I get busy moving on with things in my life and then one day run across something that brings me back to here. It feels really good to remember what I went through back then and where I am now. I have learned so much and I am continuing to learn.

Kids are doing well! Been busy with school, basketball, boy scouts and other activities. I am doing well. Busy with work and kids stuff. Became a board member for the golf course here and I am now running for school board member. I am doing lots of things that I never did before!

I was reading one of V's posts about the fear of the future without someone to share it with. I admit that I have gone through this myself. I like to think that it is just a stage of the recovery. I am taking those feelings as a sign that I need to focus on myself and growing and experiencing new things. My faith in God's plan helps me get through it also. But it is not easy. I miss the companionship sometimes. I dabble a bit with the online dating thing and it is weird to me. I have met a few people and I have learned from each experience. I am also learning what I want in a relationship and what I don't want. I see the red flags now! I am in no hurry to date. Just taking it one day at a time!
