Good Morning World..........
I am foot loose and fancy free. It only took 16 months and a good attorney. Ending a 43 yr. marriage was not easy, but then again nothing in life is free or fair. The ending is really a beginning and I am learning my way in the world. It is scary and fun all at the same time.
I do have a bucket list and a "fuck it" list and I am crossing things off of both. I have learned so much in the last 2 years. It's time for me to get back in the saddle and start blogging again.
In the last 3 and a half years, I have lost 112 lbs on my own, started exercising and eating right, hiking and got a personal trainer. At the age of 60, I got a face lift and that my friends was the beginning of the end of my marriage. Somebody felt threatened that I was becoming "me" again.
You see, I had been sick for years prior to that. I couldn't walk and was in a walking boot or wheel chair for a total of 4 years and 10 months. "Ice and elevate" was the doctors orders and so I did, gaining 100 lbs and a big ass. Well, the "husband" was another ass, but I'll save that for another day. I was told that I was severely depressed and my X husband controlled my depression by giving me lots of antidepressants.
One day I realized that I had become a Stepford Wife and I had to figure out how to claw my way out of an 8 ft deep pit........1/8 of an inch at a time. It took me several years, but I did it.
If I can do it, then anybody can. I have learned that I can do anything if I set my mind to it. Mountains? I can move them or climb them, but it takes time and determination. We live in a world where we want everything NOW........well, people it takes time, so don't pressure yourself with deadlines. Just do it a tiny bit at a time and one day you'll wake up and find YOU, yep, the real deal, the whole enchilada, the person you were always suppose to be!
Always to be continued............
