Could it be goodbye?

I began this blog years ago with the intention of keeping it to ‘breathing’ through life’s many ups and downs.  Through the years I have shared many a personal crisis or uplifting moment.  Tears and joy, laughter and sorrow.  What more can I share?  Seems I might be coming to the end of this journey.  I have shared sober living.  Death of several family members and close friends and staying sober.  Surgeries, more surgeries.  Divorce, births, new beginnings and endings that were so painful that I thought breathing was impossible. 

Today, 8 years later I just reflect on how life just makes sense now.  Children may not always have it together, grandkids may still have lots of growing pains going on, relationships that ended are put to bed, sobriety intact, job going well and the greatest gift God has given me is the new home.  I close on Wed and I just am in awe of how this even came about. 

Last year at this time I was painfully walking through an intense breakup that took months to get over, shedding lots of tears and sharing all my fears. 

See life can be hard but it can be good too.  Today I’m really happy to say it’s good.  Inside I’m a really content, happy lady.  Yes, without a partner, when kids are at arm’s length and other things lingering known or otherwise.  I may stop by occasionally but this seems to be a great place to lay it to rest.

 

I just can’t believe I have learned to breathe through so many things.
