One year today since the divorce was final. It feels like longer, it feels like no time at all. I still can't believe I am even really a divorced person. It was never in my plan for myself. But neither was getting married a year later. And well that is a wonderful unplanned thing. It's another chapter in my life. It's all part of the same novel. No regrets though. I am not so arrogant that I think that I have had my fair share of hardship and it's a rainbows and butterflies from here on out. There will be more even though I can't imagine bearing it at this time. But you can not have the heights without the depths. And I know this about myself. When I love someone, I mean it forever. No matter how our relationship changes I love to the absolute ends of the earth and beyond. And I am grateful for it all. I tell you with all honestly that nothing gets taken for granted in my life. I did not think I needed another wake up call. But something in the universe is trying to teach a lesson and I hope this time I learned it.

It does feel like longer. ;-) You gave me a lot of inspiration these past couple of years, first through my break up and then yours. Thanks and I'm so glad we've both found love again.
Peaks and valleys.... here's to so, so many more peaks. As I go through therapy, I think of you a lot because you are strong and proactive. I could just sit around and continue to live my life like I'm doing, but I'd never turn into the smart, strong, independent woman that I want so badly to be. Just like you.
Loves.
