One of the things that caught me most off guard about ending my marriage was how much it would hurt.

I had already been hurting for so long as my marriage was unravelling. I had cried so many tears wishing things were different. Wanting desperately to save my marriage. Especially my second marriag...

Something came to me this morning as I was journaling.  

It has to do with focusing on what is right in front of me rather than looking for what is missing. 

I pictured this elaborate meal laid out in front of me on this beautifully decorated table, and me sitting there thinking about a dish or so...

Today is my birthday. I turn 51 today. 

I feel like the first half of my life was all about LEARNING and the second half will be all about LIVING.  All about IMPLEMENTING all the learning. And there is so much “implementing” I want to do! LOL

I am treating myself to a couple of nights away at the Inn at Bay Fortune on Prince Edward Island for my birthday and what a beautiful spot it is!

I just reread yesterday’s blog post.  

Why is being deliberate such a big deal and what does it have to do with life after separation and divorce?

Here’s what I know to be true…

I watched the documentary Minimalism last night.  

So much food for thought…we spend so much money on “stuff”- things we don’t really need or want (at least not for very long).  And then the clutter makes us crazy so eventually we throw it out!  

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just not buy the "stuff" ...
