I'm going to get back into blogging. I just realized I haven't posted in about four months. I've been spending so much time on the computer doing other things that I don't like to spend any additional time blogging...But, I'm committing myself to a new post once a week from now on. I do enjoy looking back on old posts and am sad that for the last four months I have nothing to look back on!
Olive and I have just been hanging out for the most part. We have been experiencing the highs and lows of our new life and surviving the best we can. Olive, as always, has been a huge source of comfort and encouragement.
My divorce is going to be final in a couple weeks. The past six months, waiting for it to finalize, have been the best and worst six months...EVER. I wish I could say it has been a gradual change from bad to good, but unfortunately the good, the bad, and the ugly get so jumbled at times I can hardly tell one from the other.
Lisa gave me this quote she had used in a lesson a while ago and it soon became my constant prayer, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I still have good days and bad, but in general, I feel at peace. I have accepted the unfortunate course of my marriage. I have reached a point where I am ready for the divorce to be final, not happy or excited, just ready.
I am looking forward to new adventures and know that good things are in store for me and Olive.
