The Starting-over Years

Apr 29, 2010 16:04

After over-hearing a random comment today, I began to think about my own situation. People seem to have names for parts of their lives. The comment I heard was someone referring to her bonus years with her husband. Within my own mind, I decided to try and define this part of my life. In a weird sense I think it gives me a bit of control.  I’ve aptly named this period in my life the “Starting-over Years”. It’s a time filled with a lot of complexities. For me it’s beginning with a reawakening of self. For so long I was part of a whole, and now that’s no longer applicable.

I thought about calling this entry “The Road to Recovery”, but the more I thought about it, the more it sounded like rehab. This is something entirely different. So with this post, I am going to begin to share weekly about this part of my life. Hopefully if I can make you laugh, or make you think, then this “Starting-over years”, will have some good come from it. Stay tuned…next week I’ll have some fresh material for your thoughtful enjoyment.
