Rope dropping and grey rocks

[97Hope]

While reading through, attempting at catching up with everyone, I read the above post. It has so much in it, I posted it here for myself, to remind me, and for anyone else that happens to read it. So much wisdom and truth here that if you listen to, will aide in the healing process.

NYE came and went. I worked an extra job at a wedding venue. Spent a nice time watching the celebration of young love. One might think that I would avoid this, but I have found for the past 6 months or so, it's actually good for me to see happy couples in love.

Most of my friends are still married or engaged. I love being around them. Not one relationship is perfect, but it is comforting to see them in the ups and downs and stay committed to each other. Gives me such hope.

It used to be difficult to see others, it's good to know and remember that feelings are finite, change is inevitable and growth is possible.

I did have an offer of a New Year's "smootch" lol. I politely declined. I believe if there is someone I am meant to connect with, I will. Right now, I wouldn't mind a date, but I'm ok without one, too.

There are moments of acute loneliness. They now last for only a brief moment. Still there, but I can remember when those moments lasted what felt like hours, days, sometimes weeks.

It has been nice being at peace with my situation and myself.

I'm just loving my new place. I have amazing neighbors and the workload is manageable on my own. I am learning a lot of DIY from youtube! Not all projects have been successful, but I also have found a handy man to come to the rescue if I take on more than I can handle.


I hope this new year finds you all at peace.
