The start of a new chapter

Well so far the start of this new chapter is going pretty well. I think I'm really going to like this change. Let's just hope the rest of the day goes well. 

That Aha moment...

It only took 8 years but I finally had that Aha or should I say WTF was I thinking moment. After spending some time with an ex I finally saw what everyone else saw and was trying so hard to tell me over the pass 8 years. It hit me like a bolt of lighting. I saw how rude, disrespectful, self-centered, dirty and immature he truly is. I guess I was totally blinded by my feelings and me trying so desperately trying to keep my family together.

Thank you lord for giving me the strength to walk away when I did 2 1/2 years ago and for opening my eyes to realize that now he is no longer my problem. Its all hers now. I wish her the best of luck with their relationship...

I can say that I have truly forgiven him for all the hurt that he has caused in my life but I wouldn't forget. its a lesson learned the hard way, but it has made me a stronger person because of it!

Counting down

My daughter and I are so excited. It's just less than two days away from our family vacation. Bags have been packed since last week and just got to do the last minutes errands before we live.  Can't wait. Seattle here we come. 

....

I just don't understand why people act the way they do. If you try to do nice thing for other they is always someone else who will rain on your sunshine. Never understood why others just can be happy for others or even just a bit of understanding. It is so dishearting at times.
