I Overcome My Divorce With Grace
I am fortunate. While divorces are generally ugly, I have been blessed with an experience that has gone much smoother than anticipated. This is largely due to my graceful attitude and a mutual respect upon departing.
Now that my divorce is finalized, I can live my life according to my own standards; I live to please myself.
After a long day at work, I come home to a quiet and peaceful environment. Positive energy and sereneness welcome me as I walk through the door.
I can do as I please and speak my mind without the need to walk on eggshells. I am now the only one I must answer to. This means I can be as quiet, as loud, as clean, or as messy as I please within my own home, without fear of judgment.
I am in love with the liberation my divorce has thrust upon me. Living the single life is surprisingly far more fulfilling than I anticipated.
I have time to focus on myself and dedicate time to my hobbies. And, I am able to regularly have lunch and dinner with friends that were once only an afterthought.
Of course, I do miss the good times of our marriage. Nonetheless, idealizing our marriage means denying myself the pleasure of living in the moment. I effectively deal with the emotional aspect of my divorce and take each day as it comes.
At the moment, I am on good terms with my ex-spouse, and we may even be able to become friends sometime in the future. However, keeping our distance is best for the time being.
Today, I take the time to pat myself on the back. Divorce is never easy. However, my positive mindset makes each day less of a hurdle.
