Check out this silly thing- Bob found it at a thrift store one day. This weekend I photographed it. What a welcome bit of random silliness! The laughs felt great. Today I feel relief from grief. YAY! This last couple weeks were traumatic, the most traumatic in 15 years. It's brought up feelings for me not experienced is ages!
I am grateful for being able to write about it-writing helps me process the events thoughtfully. Tools I acquired when working through my experience with my old boyfriend in therapy are getting dusted off and reused. Thank goodness I still possess them! I never thought I'd see a situation needing them again.
My travel through this difficult turn of events is much less scary because I know what to do to take care of business. Perspective takes the sting out of having a loved one change in a weird way.
I have let go. I'm sure there is more to let go of- but I won't leave any scratch marks on it! Double YAY!
