The first half of the year has completely flown by. I can't even begin to comprehend what a strange journey it's been so far. Sometimes you see events in your life coming from a mile away... and sometimes they blind-side you. Ya just gotta roll with the punches.
I had the wind completely knocked out of me in January when I discovered my now-ex husband was completely incapable of having a monogamous relationship... EVER. I thought getting a divorce after 15 years of marriage would kill me. Much to my surprise, the period of mourning was relatively short-lived, and my friends and family have rallied around me and made me feel how lucky and blessed I am.
Then there's the problems with the knees. Arthroscopic surgery in June, and four weeks later I'm still hobbling. But as screwed-up as my knee was (torn cartilage on both sides, spurs, arthritis, etc.), I suppose it could be worse. At least it IS improving... just more slowly than I'd like.
The great things that have happened this year are the renewed relationships with friends, and the building of a stronger bond with my two incredible step-daughters. Watching them turn in to amazing young women has been a rewarding experience. I also feel a sense of hope that at some point in my future I'll find a loving man who will appreciate what a great catch I am... heehee!!
As I reflect on the last couple months of concerts, bar-b-ques, road trips and the occasional quite time of reflection, I once again realize that every cloud has a silver lining. After every storm, the sun will once again kiss the earth with its warmth and make everything new again.
I hope to take this renewed energy in to the second half of the year and conquer the few lingering fears I have about single life what the future might hold for me. Time to find my muse!!
