I would describe myself as a “mover & shaker”. If you want to get something done, I’m the girl for the job. I carry around multiple to-do lists on a daily basis. I’ve planned my life for the next year in advance. From vacations to personal accomplishments, I have no room for error. No time to spare. Now that ML and I have separated, I feel a little lost. I wasn’t planning on troubling times, at least not at this time in our lives. All the things I had planned for us are at a stand still. Will they ever take place? I’m not sure. What I do know is I am powerless to make any decisions or plans for my husband going forward. However, this doesn’t mean that my personal life has to be put on hold. I’ve decided that this separation is not only going to be a time to heal from the wounds of my husband’s addiction or a time to work on saving our marriage. I want this time to be about rediscovering myself. With everything that has happened in the last year, I’ve lost myself in the shuffle.
- Getting healthier
- Passing the Series 66 ( Financial Certification Exam)
- Reconnecting with old friends that I’ve neglected
- Starting to read actively again
- Pursing a new hobby or interest ( perhaps blogging??)
I want this separation to be a time of growth, not just emotionally -but physically, mentally & spiritually as well.
