#32- Reflections

I've been reflecting a lot lately
about how different my life is
today from one year ago.

A year ago June I got
separated. He is a good person, we just
had different paths to follow.

Hardest thing I ever had to do.

Had feelings of guilt and failure
and loneliness.

Began seeking comfort online.

Met some doozies, (wow...you have no
idea
) met some nice ones to.
Some who understood, some
who just needed someone else to talk to,
to waste an evening in frivolous chatter.

It was not time wasted for me. These chats
helped me to see myself more clearly.
Opened my eyes to what was now available to me
They helped me to seek out the life
I really wanted for myself,
to figure out what that really was.

It also lead me to Marco.
The wonderful man who is now my husband.
Who has ability to love me as I am,
who offered me what I wanted out of my life.

I have a man that is devoted to me.
Has pushed me to try new things, to
seek out our dreams, to not fear failure.

His persistence has lead us to buy a home,
one where we can start our family.
The next step on our list.

Last year was a new job, new city, new (very small) apt.

This year is a wonderful husband,
home of my own (And the bank's for the next 30 yrs)
decorating for the holidays, and planning for the
next year.
