Today is my two-weekaversary of being officially divorced. It's a moment of contemplation about the past and future. While I cannot change the past, I can actively build the life and future I want for myself. And just as I felt in the summer of 2007, before meeting the X, life is good and I am very blessed.
List of my blessings:
*amazing mother who is my BFF
*wonderful sisters who are also my best friends
*the most adorable nieces and nephews in the universe!
*safe place to live and good neighbors
*plenty of food to eat and clothes to wear
*meaningful employment
*the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the anchor in my life
*loving and accepting ward family
*peace in my heart and clarity of thought
*a bed all to myself with no one stealing my pillows or blankets :)
I could go on and on. But yes, being single is better than being unequally yoked to a narcissistic man-child.
Future plans:
*finish dissertation and being Dr. Larisa
*travel abroad to visit friends in Norway, New Zealand, and Canada
*spoil nieces and nephews
*take care of parents
*compile family histories
*do lots sewing projects and especially, learn how to quilt like a pro
*serve another full-time mission
That's just a few of the options that are before me. And I could do all of them alone or with a partner. Either way, I am NEVER going to let someone abuse me like the X did! NEVER EVER!
Tuwanda.
