Day 5

I am grateful to my ex for finally going. Yes, I am heartbroken that I am not living "happily ever after" but I do want to live in the moment and I have to admit that I am glad to be out of his spotlight.

I am grateful for pre-made salads. Yum. And easy.

I am grateful for my pets. I do love them. They do love me.

I am grateful for pictures that I have taken over the years. My life has been full and I do see love and care in those hundreds of pictures of my family, my children, my marriage, and my friends. So much film! I am thinking now that life is really water under a bridge and that time passing can bring so many currents happy or sad.

And so to food: who will take care of me if I don't? Friends and family can only do so much - I DO need to be kind to me, to treat myself best. Time to shop for some healthy food! My fridge is practically empty! And my older daughter is coming home this weekend as my younger daughter leaves, and she really hates that - so I have to get some food before she gets here!

Hope you all have a Great Wednesday! I am vacationing from today until Sunday night. (Still on nights!)

Hi Abba! Yes pictures and memories of times we've had. Of course there is love and happiness there. Don't ever forget that. What you had, your life was/is real. Take the goodness from it. Take your lovely daughters and now make more wonderful memories and take more pictures . You are making new wonderful memories every day! Take care Abba!!

Abba ... my husband told me once, early in our relationship (as I expressed my experiences with relationships not ending well) that all relationships end in disaster! ??? He explained to me that in the end someone dies ... it is rare that a couple goes together, even if they stay together for a long time and therefore everyone ends up 'alone.' I must agree with Cathy ... you are living 'happily ever after' ... it is just that the journey doesn't fit the illusion that you had dreamt of ... rarely do any of our 'happily ever after' scenarios come true. You have truly lived and continue to live. You are an insightful, passionate, intelligent, and I imagine very fun woman!!! I have been privy, by your journals here, to get to know you as you share your heart, your experiences, your pain and joys. It touches me. I feel so honored!! And yes ... you deserve to be well taken care of by YOU!!! Have a good day/night, be good to yourself, be kind to yourself!!!

Every day is a new day, Abba. Keep on clicking pics and stocking healthy foods in that fridge. ((Hugs)).
