Brenda,

Thank you so much for posting from the "other side." My husband told me he wanted a divorce in July, and he moved out just four days ago. Right now, I am too depressed to get out of bed, unless I'm absolutely forced (as is the case today), and I cannot imagine ever getting over it. Beside me on my bed is a mountain of Kleenex, and an even bigger mountain of self-help books. One minute, I think there's hope (because he has invited me to dinner each night he's been gone, and we did lunch a few times), and the next, I think he's just being nice to assauge his ego and prevent this from getting ugly in the public eye. I don't know what's better--having no hope, or clinging to something that may be too long gone.

It is my birthday this week, and I am determined by my big day to commit to paper a snapshot of what I'd like my life to resemble a year from now--what do I want for myself spiritually, emotionally, professionally, location-wise, etc.? I think articulating what I desire will give me a roadmap to follow when I can't see my way.

I am so glad to hear things are looking up for you. You sound strong, and I pray I get there someday, too.

Hugs,
M
