I had someone recently say to me that they thought I was drifting away from my quest. I have not.
I had my first therapy appointment this week. Since I have had many years of "things" that I need to deal with and get off my chest so to speak, I made this commitment to meet with someone for a while on a weekly basis. It is amazing to me how much the one appointment helped me. I am really looking forward to cleansing my soul and getting this out in the open with my therapist. That night I was even able to have a conversation with my husband and convey to him, once more, that it is over with, and that I need to go on with my life, without him, and that I no longer am in love with him. I told him he needed to go on with his life and get himself straightened out. So far, it seems to have gone well.
So, back to my quest. I have started to work out again, (thank you Jana) I shall continue to go to the gym, I need to get back into my daily workout schedule as I was not so long ago. I miss monsieur treadmill, and I am confident that he misses me too. Nothing like having a man to step all over.
And so see my friend, I have not drifted.

Therapy during divorce - good. Kept me on this Earth.
Everybody thinks that the one doing the leaving feels less pain, but that's not true. The pain is different, and it includes guilt.
Good for you. Molly, you seem so strong to me. You are inspiring.
Thank you Cindy, I really appreciate your comments.
Being outside of my marriage now, and looking back, I cannot believe I put up with so much shit, for so long. I really do feel strong, I am very proud of myself as I never thought I would be able to do what I am doing now with my life. Life is too short to spend being unhappy, and thinking, is this it?
I'm sorry, did someone say something? Hmm, must be my imagination.
Is driftiness a word?
Bzzz bzzz.
Shoo, fly, shoo.
I think it is one of those gnats
Oh, so now you are conveniently embracing your sistah-hood?
When I originally started posting on this blog of mine, I had 2 reasons to post. One was that I found that it was helping me get some of my feelings out, with my poetry. And it was helping me with my goals as far as the marathon is concerned. I really started to make a decision in my life, as far as where I was going and what I was going to go, after I started blogging. I really truly owe all of you a debt of gratitute because of all of your support. I dont know if I could have done what I did without all of your kind words and support and encouragement. Thank you tribe mates!
Atta Girl, Molly!
I thought the therapy would be good....and I'm so happy you have found it to be so. There are lots of resources out there to help through difficult times, if we just reach out for them.
I know the feeling that of being on the threshold of a new chapter in life....there's nothing like it. But there are ups and downs and having people to celebrate the ups and support you through the downs is so important.
You have a strong support system in place, so onward and upward!

You know we all need to take a leap every once in a while. It may be a painful one but the rewards will be great.
I am very proud of you Molly. It takes great courage to make changes. Cheers to your bravery!
Funny, now that I have started into this new life of self discovery, I look back at my previous life and think, how pathetic to stay so long. I am just glad that I finally was able to get the courage to do what I have done. I have never been happier as I am at this moment. I know that it can do nothing but get better.
