I was divorced this week. It's been four months and one week since my world fell apart. But I can safely say that Jim was right when he said we were better off this way. I've met a wonderful new man (on Match.com no less) that is the best parts of Jim and the best parts of my first husband - - and a bunch of NEW best parts of his own. I'm moving out at the end of this month and I've found the cutest little house that is just as wonderful as the dream one that I'll be leaving. My son has been coping well and really seems to like my new boyfriend. Jim even seems happier and has been very flexible with Erik's schedule - taking him when I need a babysitter, etc.
I know now that it is possible to have your world crumble into a million pieces and come back stronger - and much better off. I still miss being married to a man that was a lot of fun. And while Jim had his faults, there will always be a part of me that misses those good times. But I've met new friends, done new things, and starting over I know that anything is possible. I may even remarry again someday. But for now, I'm enjoying being single, dating, hanging out with my son, throwing myself into my work, etc.
So I'll end this blog with how I started it. A quote from one of my favorite movies;
"She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true."
Here's to flying true.
