A friend asked me the other day what my plans for my life were now that I’m reaching the 5 year point without my husband and my answer surprised even me.
I told her that now I am just treading water. The things that meant so much to me earlier in my life, are no longer my driving force. Instead I am happy for the moment to work, I love love love my new job, get my masters in health administration and see what happens.
And what about love, moving on? They persisted.
If it happens, and I meet someone, great – if not great. I am not actively seeking. I’m happy with my life with the way it is right now and don’t want to disturb the peace I have achieved for myself or my children. They are safe. That is important.
The analogy I came up with is that I’ve just been for a great surf, got dumped really badly, and my body had to heal and I had to regain my courage. I can still see the great waves and other people riding them, but for now I’m happy to stay in my calmish patch of the ocean and tread water and if nothing else happens to me here, then I’m OK. I’m happy watcing the view and knowing that at least, I am still in the ocean.
Carry on
