Sooooo.....Where to start. I've wanted to do this for some time and well finally sitting down to do it. Last July I made a drastic change in my life. After over 30 years of marriage, I left. Not a decision that came lightly to me, I went through a lot of things in my mind before I decided it was time for it to end.
You know when you hear people say "I stayed for the kids", I always thought that was a crazy reason to stay and thought many times when I heard people say that, you can't be serious but after everything I have gone through I have come to realize that I was one of those people that stayed because of the kids. Never, never a good reason. When things finally started to totally unravel in my mind, my kids were the first to say we would be happier away from all of it. So like I said after much thought, I did take the steps to leave.
It's a scary situation when you really have never been alone before. I went from being in my parents home to being married by the time I was 19, having my first child shortly after I turned 20. Today though through all the years that I have lived I can safely say this has been one of the best choices I have made in my life. I'm learning to like myself again, to see that there is more to life then just living day to day waiting for the next one to come along, basically learning to make life what it was mean't to be, FUN AND ENJOYABLE.
It took some time, being in a small town places to live are hard to find, but just before Christmas we finally found a place, which I gladly call mine and my kids home. We got settled very quickly and the holidays were the best I have had in a long time. Fun and family. Isn't that the way holidays were mean't to be? Another thing I found out, yes they are. Relaxing, calm and lots of laughter.
So with this new year that has just started, its kind of finally my new beginning.....
So as I see it, its time to do things my way......So as the name of my blog states "Never Let Life Pass You By"
