March
March has just ended. Three years ago in March I drove away from XAH, signed divorce papers, and moved my kids home 1,000 miles away, scared about my finances, struggling with my sense of self, and still scared of him. My kids and I were a mess, barely getting through the days. I had some very very dark times. They could barely attend school, I barely attended work.
This March just ended, with...
...me sitting in my beautiful home, where it's quiet, peaceful, and MINE
...a weekend where my two boys each had several friends over (a "party" so to speak), one Friday, one Saturday--they love their home and sharing it with friends. I love seeing their friends and filling my house with laughter.
...a year in which I grew very close with my extended friends, getting together at least weekly, talking daily
...three years of promotions at my job giving me more security than ever before, and an unsolicited job offer last week that I'm considering
...a failed relationship with another A that I realized and corrected before drowning (I consider this a smashing success)...having a final farewell conversation this past weekend
...joy in my heart and excitement for whatever may come
Once I gave myself permission to live--and the tools to repair my past--my life has soared. I'm so very grateful.
This thread is for those who can't yet see the sun. I was so stuck in the muck I couldn't see even a sliver of daylight or even begin to imagine it...and today I live in the sun. There is always hope for the next day. Life will keep twisting and turning--we get to decide which roller coaster to ride.

I love this entire post SO MUCH! But this part, in particular, strikes a chord for me:
That is EXACTLY how it feels, so well said!!
