I commend you for the decision you are making to take your life back, and KNOW that NO ONE can understand where you are right now, unless they have been there themselves, but am curious as to your answer to anonymous question... and think they may raise a valid point. (though i don't agree with how he/she said it) Of course we all miss your happy, light-hearted self. But your friends know this is a crisis that you are dealing with right now, and that this too, shall pass. However, that being said. What do you mean when you say you are "taking your life back"? Will you continue to write about your parents divorce or when you say "you are taking your life back" do you mean all of your life, including the hour that you spend writing on it? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. love you much!!!!!!heather_varelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669883196790612073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952193241386833473.post-6905059517944206222011-03-31T01:19:30.041-04:002011-03-31T01:19:30.041-04:00This week's theme for me seems to center aroun...This week's theme for me seems to center around the discipline of responding to grief with compassion. Man, it's just so tough. It takes so much focus and intention and stamina.<br /><br />It sounds like you are entering a new chapter.

Knowing you won't be the same as you were, but that you can be something new and renewed is too. You can do it! If you (and your hubs) ever need to get away, you're always welcome here.

It has helped me to feel less alone. The comment by anonymous reminds me that unless you have walked miles in someone else's shoes, it's impossible to know what they are going through. I hope and pray that Anonymous never does have to walk in those shoes.

I LOVE YOU! be brave and don't be afraid to say what you're feeling...i know it has helped me more than anything to read your thoughts/struggles. <3Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030430313522328804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952193241386833473.post-75920474352222782782011-03-30T21:11:23.806-04:002011-03-30T21:11:23.806-04:00BINGO, Michelle!

If you TRULY are taking YOUR life back, I hope that you will go back to writing more about YOUR life. I hope you won't still sit and write about this divorce anymore... because that forces you to focus on and write about what you are trying to move on from. What is your blog game-plan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
