Update
Oh, thank you all for you kind and loving posts.I should probably update... I am doing so so much better now, 3 months later. My STBX moved out January 5th... and the relief was overwhelming. I was so worried and grieving, but when the event actually happened, I just could feel the rightness of it and that feeling has only grown. I have been surprised by so many things in the last three months.
1) I am stronger and more capable than I had even thought I could possibly be. I have been facing my demons in all areas of my life and it feels so good.
2) I've learned that when you live from your heart rather than your fears, life is infinitely more worth living. For everyone.
3) Decisions made from love are going to manifest goodness.
4) My children are doing better than ever before.
5) My STBX is doing better than ever before.
6) Life is hard, but not in the ways that I expected it to be.
7) Sometimes its lonelier in a marriage than out of it.
8) I know more and more of what I want day by day. And, I don't feel like I shouldn't want it!
9) I bought a cordless drill and I kick-a*s at home projects.
10) My friends are so true and beautiful and I am gifted by their strength and love.
11) You get what you ask for in this life. But sometimes you have to take great leaps of faith to get it.
12) Even strangers can be compassionate. Thank you, MDC.
One of my mentors said to me once "You should pay attention to what surprises you. That is where you will learn." So, I am paying attention.
Thank you all for your support. May the same be given to you when you are in need.
love and blessings,
Christine
