I’ve just been reminded that today was my wedding anniversary. It is a date that was etched in my mind for 10 years, and then became a painful annual reminder starting 4 years ago.
But this year was different. This year I had forgotten about it. I didn’t feel the need to put a construct in place to distract myself. I didn’t pre-schedule time with people who care about me to replace the sadness over the one who didn’t. I am not lamenting my singleness as resulting from the divorce. I’m simply going about my day. It’s just a Tuesday.
I feel this is a mark of true healing and I am so glad for it. Here’s to many more years of better living through loving myself and continuing to set down the weighty baggage of the past.
