Hmmm :)

Back from London with a smile on my face. As Nix put it earlier in the chat room, there is life after divorce (and love and romance).

Plans are full steam ahead for Christmas ... and events in the New Year. A weekend in London, a show and just time for us. Despite being showered with love, attention and gifts the most romantic part was being informed that all he wants for Christmas is us.

The hardest part (for me) is the unlearning of the hard lessons of the past and realising that divorce is a new start not just and

Apologies for stealing your username mate but right now that't the best phrase I can use to express my emotions.

Unlike so many people here my low mood is not due to x2b or divorce.In fact I couldn't care less-I just wish he'd get the hell on with it.

He broke my heart 18 months age and it's healing.I wouldn't have him back now if he won the lottery....or would I?????

My spirits are down because of

a) My 15yo teeny who has driven me to the edge of sanity and

b) my poor Dad who has been in hospital for a week.He's doing OK but at 84 any illness is a worry.

It puts things into perspective

I think I'm enjoying the second bloom that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations, and suddenly find... at the age of fiftyand a bit heheheh, say... that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about. It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising within. And the perhaps the best thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. So, where the hell is Peter Pan with my marbles.
