Flying Solo... again

Well...I am looking for the silver lining.

But yes, I guess if it was meant to be.. it would have been.

Apparently not.

So, I have been seeking out the good that comes with a break up.

Ok lets see..

I have lots more time for me.
I don't have to think about planning out coordinated schedules.
I don't have to interact with other friends that I really dont want to.
I don't have to worry about a third dog
I don't have to make sure the sink is clear of dishes (all the time).
My grocery bill will definitely go down.
If I want to spend all day in bed on a weekend I can (Ok wait a minute maybe that isnt different)

The new free time will be good for me to really think about what I want in life..

Obviously I am trying to talk myself through the hurt..but it will all be OK..
When I stop to think about it.. I can't even remember what fully brought this on.. maybe it was bound to happen.. who knows..
Now as long as I dont reach for a pint of ice cream.. I will be good.

Happy Mothers day to all of you who have been blessed with children that you love and that love you..

be well.

  1. I know you are so strong and will get through this. I know it might be tough since it was someone you trusted after Mark.

  4. Well Barb, that kinda sucks. My advice (since you didn't ask :) wallow for a couple of days, eat some cookie dough, and then pull up your big girl panties and prepare for your next big adventure! I can't wait to hear what it's gonna be! *hugs*

  6. I know this has to hurt like hell! I am sorry that you are going through this hurt after Mark, but I will say it is his loss my dear. You are an amazing woman, strong, loving, fun and I know someone will realize just how special and amazing you are!

    You are strong and you do not need a MAN to be happy!

  13. Well, good riddance. He was just the practice round. 8-) Okay, so you had some fun. End of story.
    Of course, if you do get back with him...forget I said that.
    Seriously.....break ups are painful and awful and downright sh*tf*cky. And, I am so sorry you have to endure that pain. Thankfully, you are a strong, loving woman who is full of life and has so much to give. Give the wallowing/grieving one day for every 3 months you were together. That's the rule for break ups with the man who is NOT THE ONE.
    Sending good VIBES!
    Onward!
