A mess this weekend...or was it
Just when you think you are going to be okay....
Bamm....something comes along to rock your world...
Have been feeling slightly under the weather all last week.
Saturday afternoon I ran out to the store to pick up a few things.
Hair in a clip, no make up on, looking life death warmed over.
Well, wouldn't you know it, practically got knocked over by my
ex-fiancee (not an A) while leaving the store.
He left me 5 years ago for another woman.
I haven't seen him in almost 4 years, even though we do
correspond occassionally via the net.
He lives in a town 22 miles away so seeing him in my town was a jolt.
(He was visiting his sister that lives a couple of miles from me, he explained.)
I looked toward his vehicle and wouldn't you know it,
there sat the woman he chose over me. She looked great!
Did you ever notice that you always run into everyone you know
when you look like sh**!
Saturday evening I had a Holiday party to attend. I was going with a male
friend of mine, someone I am not romanticly interested in.
Started to think about my ex John and how miserable I was because
once again I am alone....
Went to the party and had a wonderful time inspite of the way I felt
earlier that day.
Woke up the next morning glad that I hadn't cancelled on the party.
I also realized that this is how life is.
I have had a lot of good things happen to me lately, for which I am grateful.
Life will throw a curve ball at you now and again.
I didn't fall apart, I didn't go back to codie habits, (you know calling the
ex) or things that I would have done before.
I have truely evolved. I think we need these curveballs every once in awhile.
Keeps us in check, keeps ME in check anyway.
So yesterday, I spent the day baking all my childrens favorites for the holidays, appreciating my home and everything around me.
Realizing just how far I have come in this past year.....
It was a good weekend in the big scheme of things.

Our recovery helps us deal with everything life throws our way. The nice thing is when we become aware that we are really getting better.
Life will continue to challenge us. It's how we react that makes the difference. Recovery gives us positive and useful tools to live a happier life, no matter what is happening around us.
Happy Holidays

Bless me! I haven't even got knockers big enough to blame it on!! I tried a pair on for the first time since I was a teenager last year and nearly broke my flippin' neck in the shoe shop!!
Ah well!!! I'm so glad you still went out and enjoyed yourself.
