The end is near . . .

The one year anniversary of our legal separation came and went last weekend. The final touches that will be taken care of by the court, attorney and legal examiner are taking place.

I am in such a better place than I was this time last year. I have rediscovered the woman I once was, I have been working on improving the old version, and I am welcoming her back into my life. I believe it is a time of celebration.

I still, occasionally, look back on our almost 22 years of marriage and wonder when things changed. I only have one answer for that, but it doesn't really matter anymore. The need to analyze it has been replaced with a determination to enjoy the second half of my life.

This morning I was cleaning up my computer desktop and found something that I saved last July, but had forgotten about. I read it over a couple of times and decided that I should put it somewhere where I can look at it and be reminded that everything that is important takes work, and without that work things start to unravel. I might have shared this last year, but I would like to share it again.

 

I haven't be posting on my blog because I felt that the marriage and the separation had run its course, and I have moved on to other things. I appreciate everyone who has followed my blog, who commented, and who supported me over the last year. The whole process has been very healing. Thank you!!!

I will let you know when everything has been finalized, but until then, I have my camera in hand and I am officially starting the next phase of my life.
