An actual Positive out of this whole mess of a situation (divorce in general); what do you know.
I'm 36 and divorced 11 months, no kids, one SuperDog. I was on the phone this morning to a guy friend from undergrad. He is married with four kids.
During the conversation he goes, "I think about school a lot; I miss having that freedom. I miss being able to go where I want, do what I want, talk with who I want, just do whatever whenever." I thought wait a minute; that's my life now!
I mean, even though it feels awful that I think I've made absolutely no 'progress' since I was 22 (divorce makes me feel like I took a step back in life, not a step forward -- I don't have a house anymore but an apartment and I live sparsely like a college student blablabla), at least I can say I have Freedom. Just an observation and I hope you all are having a good day. Love Fzz

I've been feeling a lot like that now. I'm 37 seperated 6 months (married less than 2) and I love being able to do what I want.
My fav is.. I love when I clean the kitchen is actually stays clean. :)
It is great when we have those lightbulb moments when we realize a positive has come out of the divorce, which isn't an easy process for anyone...
