I know wh...This is all so good, thanks for sharing. I know what you wrote is a few months old now, but still relevant to others. Glad you are out of the Zombie-ism. I went through that too. Too long of a story, and much too personal to share, but it was tough when I left my abusive husband. I have two children, but ended up alone-- once a wife and mother, and then, in the blink of an eye, no longer a wife, and in some respects, no longer a mother. Who was I? It took a long time to get to know myself. I too, had to learn how to do things on my own, especially with the car, and with my own finances. Guess what? I did okay. Although, I pretty much got squat from the divorce ($), like I said to my lawyer, "I don't care. At least I got away." We learn so much in this life, some of which we wish we didn't have to. Divorce is rough and very sad. I don't wish it on anyone. Lots of heartbreak and it truly feels like a death. When my divorce was final, I had the feeling that our marriage was like a piece of paper that had just been tossed into the trash. But, God is good. After some floudering, I found Christ. My hope is in Him. I need to concentrate on building up treasures in heaven and not on earth. This life here is 'but for a moment' in light of eternity. I enjoy your blog.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-5277601745373693632009-10-18T23:40:40.926-05:002009-10-18T23:40:40.926-05:00I would love it if you would wear those pearls on ...I would love it if you would wear those pearls on Nov 7 and meet up with some old friends....you know where!

I have missed you. I am so glad to hear that your MIL is on the mend and working hard at her PT. <br /><br />The pearls are terrific and I just love that you are doing things that you would not have done in the past. You are on your way to being who you are without him influencing what you buy, eat, do, say, etc. I like your idea of literally putting something on your body everyday that symbolizes that new life. <br /><br />My dad always influenced how our house was decorated (of all things), my mom didn't get to have the house the way she wanted. When he left, (after a year or so), she completely redecorated in pretty colors and furniture that she liked. Years later when he saw it, he was obviously surprised that it looked different. I guess it was hard for him to see she moved on and wasn't hanging on to the past or he never saw her as an individual.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976416338706426809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-12538100822008531412009-10-02T14:50:27.991-05:002009-10-02T14:50:27.991-05:00Great to meet you C - thanks for

He is a brilliant dog, and needs a job. I think he would love it because he and my sheltie live to serve me.

I think you 'about me' is the most honest yet fun description of both of you and also at the same time so glad that you both have such strong friendship all the way. I think freedom is great and having a kid at 60...is not so much fun, I know my husband gave up nappies at 40, he'll go bonkers with babies now. Love your attitude of life and everything else, proves that when we have a good buddy, life is good.

As for Belgian Melanois, I have met one, a very smart and nice dog, and I know the breed has an excellent reputation.<br /><br />Divorce is just plain awful no matter the how, when's and whys, but it does not signal the end of life, so it is so healthy to see your sense of humor and interest in things you love and make you feel good . Hope your MIL is doing much, much better . <br /><br />More pictures of your dog Chili? Have you obedience trained your dog? How old was Chili when you got him?<br /><br />This freedom was not your choice, but since it has been granted you,you SHOULD enjoy it with a clear conscience,pearls , puppy, and all!"This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-27014498045639055802009-10-01T20:36:54.152-05:002009-10-01T20:36:54.152-05:00What an inspiration you are!

I know this has been a trial that you never wanted to wage, but you have done it with grace-staying true to who you are even when provoked to do otherwise.<br />Symbols are wonderful, tangible reminders of what we have faced and overcome.

Just like the pearl, it has gone through quite a lengthy trial of grinding to get to it's luster and shine, and then in order for anyone to enjoy it....it had to be releasded from the prison of the shell it was held in. So just like a pearl, it's time for you to come out of your shell and shine!!

My daughter was looking over my shoulder as I purchased and ran back to tell the Farmer, "You won't believe what mom PAID for those." Yep....and I love every moment they are around my neck.<br /><br />A friend of ours raises Belgian Malinois. They are terrific dogs. Hers are national champion trackers. <br /><br />As for the baby at at 60 - 'nuff said. His stress and misery are assured. Raising a teenager at age 76 is payback enough.
