Begin the Begin

"Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again"

A great quote from one of my all time favorite bands, REM, and I thought it was the best way to start my foray into the world of blogging!

Someone recently said to me " Wow, your whole world has been turned upside down, this must be a really difficult time for you but you need to get on with your life."

This difficult time that they were referring to is that I am going through a divorce.  My response even startled me a bit but it is truely how I feel.  "This is not my first time to this type of dance, my life has been turned upside down many times (I have lost both of my parents quite young) and I know that getting on with my life is what needs to happen and that is exactly what I am doing."

And I have been thinking about my response and realized maybe there are some people out there that do not know this or how to, so I thought maybe I should lead by example (and blog about it).

This is not a blog about divorce but about living life and keeping your heart open to what life has to offer you.  I am not saying that my life is always going to be an exciting read nor am I saying that I will never write about the divorce and it's inane process.  But I can tell you this, I have had more interesting and fun things happen to me since my husband left that I would never have gotten to enjoy or experience!

There are many people who have helped me tremendously in the last 6 months -  let's call them my support system and I will introduce these very important people in future blogs.  To tell you the truth at least 3 or 4 of them do not even know what they have done for me - because it's the little things in life that make the most impact!
