I did it. And then some.

Wow.

It is 5 years since my separation, and I am reading these old posts and feeling emotional and inspired.

I loved this community. I loved my fellow bloggers. Are any of you still here?

One of my early posts was about the dreams I had, like scuba diving and having a house I could entertain people in.

I did both. I should post my scuba diving story here. It was NUTS! Waves and a faulty breathing tube thingy, lol – it was a mess, but I fucking did it ; )

One thing not on my list was finding someone – well, I did that too.

Also – I’ve gone back to school and intent to study PTSD in Intimate Partner Violence survivors. I’ve already written a few papers  – have one due next week actually.

Resilience and growth like a phoenix out of ashes is possible. I’m so happy today.
