Thank you for your lovely reply. It is a big step forward for me.. but life is good and fun.. I am waiting for New Guy to come to take me out for my 60 th birthday meal. I have some suspicions that more may be involved, due to various hints.. but will see! I still have a bit of a roller coaster.. but it mainly feeling good and happy, with low sweeps at times But I know these are temporary and will pass and I still will have a life full of happiness, purpose, friendship and fun. That is what it is about.
It is there, we just need to get into the frame of mind to reach out and take it, take a risk. Plus let go of bitterness and a need to go back. We never can.We must go forward , and accept the new and the change..
So much out there can be so good for us!
My friend said to me I had so come out of my shell! I do feel like a new person in so many ways and wish I had felt like this before.
This " Me" was tempered in the harsh hurting fire of betrayal and loss. My sons and all are just happy to see me bounce back with spirit.. even if at times it is a role I play. But then everyone does that. For me it is more and more genuine. The key is not to let ANYONE control your life and moods.. your wishes and hopes. Children must come first of course.. but our lives do not now belong to a relationship, or another.
We now have that gift in our own hands.
Our duty is to live the best and happiest life we can. We can do that! No-one, no regrets should distract us. The happier we are.. the happier we make those around us and so it goes on.. It works.. give yourself time, love and trust. Take care!
