Read this Blog -- It's a Must!

I've been struggling a lot to find inner peace over the past two years. My life hasn't turned out the way I hoped it would. I have a beautiful son who brings me more joy in one day than I could have ever hoped for in a lifetime. I am so grateful for him. But, I've been struggling with the fact that I missed out on the whole husband/partner thing. I have a husband, but he's not a partner, and he's not a great guy. I've stayed married to him for a million wrong reasons, and I've lost a lot of very good years. These past two years I've come to fully realize what I've missed, and how much I have given up. I won't say that I've been feeling sorry for myself. I can best describe my struggles as a constant feeling of disappointment, and even sorrow. I think I somewhat mourn for the life I hoped I would have, but lost. I am a very strong, independent, resilient woman. Yet, I have had quite a few dark days lately. It's not like me to feel such despair, but I did. However, yesterday I stumbled across this blog:

It has forever changed me. It opened my eyes, cleared my head, and touched my heart. I will never take another day for granted,or waste another minute. I've already stopped looking back, and started looking ahead. Thank you Stephanie Nielsen.

Read the nienie dialogues. It will change you. It will make you a better person.

p.s. - Note to Stephanie Nielson -- You go girl!

Her blog was amazing. It definitely put me in a different mood, so much that I shut off my computer and went out for a walk just to enjoy the day.

I learned a few years ago that life is short and you need to do what's going to make you satisfied and happy.
I'm hoping that you have taken care of the situation with your husband and can move on to a new phase in your life.
BTW CT is not all THAT far from VT.
Only about 3 1/2 hours from Stamford.
I know because my freak show of a mother is coming tomorrow. JUST FOR DINNER. From Norwalk.
