Introduction
A fantasy that commenced and developed in wiki chat
as a fun distraction from the trials and tribulations of living through
separation and divorce has since become a reality that the powers behind
Wiki have asked me to report to all you lovely wikipeeps. The dream offer
of £10 million pounds had absolutely no bearing on my decision, after all
it was only a dream!! For the inclusion of all, I shall begin with a little
background.......
As I approached my ninth year of divorce
litigation I was a shadow of my former self. I had lost the will to
continue the existence of trying to cope and make sense and reason of the
insensible and unreasonable. I stopped my world and got off...on 4th
October 2008 I returned from work, locked my doors, disconnected my phone
and shut down all thought, emotion and human interaction!
After
three months of self inflicted lock up and shut down from what had become
everyday life, a long awaited break through occurred........irrelevant here
but for those interested, details can be found via this link
http://www.wikivorce.com/divorce/Divorce-Blogs/3756-A-bright-
light-in-my-dark-tunnel.html. Further break throughs and
positive developments were to continue for me through January 2009. After
years of negativity I wanted to share my good news. I had no idea that this
was to be received with acceptance and compassion, the likes of I had never
experienced. This was a "first" for me and as my journey unfolded there
were to be many more wonderful firsts that I shall never forget...thanks
wikis!
Like many of you wikis I have a special
quote pinned to my fridge, mine consists of some words of Alvin
Toffler...
"The illiterate of the 21st Century are not those who
cannot read and write, but those that cannot unlearn and relearn"
I was at last a willing scholar eager to do more than read these words.
So began a period of transition and change for me....out with the old and
in with, not so much the new, but the oppressed. I was taking the first
steps to lay a tortured soul to rest. I was scared, apprhensive, excited,
nervous, oh a multitude of emotions.....I chose these words to help
me...
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO
When I come
to the end of the road and the sun has set before me,
I want no
tears in a gloom filled room, why sigh for a soul set free?
Miss
me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared, miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone.
It's a part of the master's plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we
know,
and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds, miss me but let
me go.
I didnt want to do be alone any more, so I
chose a dear friend to walk the first few steps with me. He
accepted...thank you ((((Thomo)))), another wonderful first such as those I
have come to experience and cherish as I continue on my journey.
I have chosen to omit dates and diarise my travels and experiences by day
number.
I shall write my experiences and perceptions in the
hope that you will feel free to comment without the shy reservedness I so
often demonstrate!!!!
My travelling companion (Willie and not
Edward...indeed Handle...who is Edward? ) is a hot water bottle hunk of a
male as can be seen from his picture below
Willie cannot
multi-task and as I want to slot in as much as possible, my reporting will
be belated writings from my notes.....be warned some of you....lol
Acknowledgements and thanks to all of you that I have met, those that I
have yet to meet, those that are in hiding until I return home and those
that have encouraged and supported me.
Day 1 shall be reported
as soon as my allocated unvoluntary editor, Lee as seen below has attempted
to edit my writings and escaped for cover using his illegally acquired
passion wagon, namely a golf cart! Saffy may he forever be in your debt!
