I have had a miserable couple of years and at the same time they have been the best years  of my life!   Not sure how that is, but it is.    I have discovered that I have been drifting   slowly but surely into an obvilion of disinterest and inaction.  Time for a change!  Action  instead of passive squatting in one place!       

I am 41 years old and just lately trying to get my life under control.  The first step was leaving a very unhealthy marriage about 1 1/2 years ago but the separation was a definite challenge to my sanity and safety.  I should mention that before a divorce could proceed, my husband was killed in an accident a few months ago.  So not only am I dealing with the death of the marriage, I am dealing with the death of a significant person of 20 years of my life.  I should also mention that due to circumstances I am the person that has to deal with his estate, which is difficult in all possible dimensions.

But on to the best things in my life!  I have met a very special person and have been in the first time in a relationship where I feel on equal and common ground. The communication level is almost frightening and yet so comforting to know that I have equal value.  I have moved to a new city and have a great job where I feel challenged and appreciated.  I now have more opportunities than I ever expected to have!
