4 years ago today I got married. 4 years ago I donned a beautiful white dress and walked up the aisle with my Dad.
I was so full of naive confidence. I was sure that things were going to be good – but I had no clue.
Today I am more confident, more sure in my decision. My marriage ended because it was never going to succeed.
I am lucky to have such amazing women in my life to pick me up when I am down – who know and love me.
This year has been a year of “firsts” – first on this side of the great line – BW and AD – Before Wedding and After Divorce. I have made it – and you know what – I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens in the next years to come. I have a steady running schedule and plans for the Chicago Marathon. I have some amazing friends…and a job that pays the bills and a profession that keeps me alive. Maybe one day they will merge into a career that I am both passionate about AND get paid to do. But we’ll see.
The point is – I feel much better today about what has happened over the past year than I have in a number of months. There is a lot of life out there to live.
And a lot more puppy snuggles to enjoy:
xoxo. so glad to see you happy. and love the puppy snuggles!
