Happy Friday peeps (yes, I know I’m dating myself and I don’t care 😁)!
Usually, I reserve Fridays for my Lemonade of the Week, but I’m finding it less satisfying than I had hoped for and it receives the least (almost no) views. I have also found that most people seemed to resonate more with my raw, “this is me” posts more.
Therefore, in the next few months I will be making some changes to the format and posting in the other categories. I’m waiting for the eventual move so that I have better internet and not trying to work off of two different mi-fi cards – something I don’t recommend. I’m also hoping to find someone local who can help me make the changes, as well as teach me some tricks of the platform.
Oh, and the book posts are staying because books – reading, collecting, and talking about them – is life for me. And I enjoy the back and forth with people who read those posts.
Next, I thought I would talk a little about my previous post, I Did A Thing, and the great response it generated. The support I received was amazing and I hope it showed people they are not alone. It also opened up some great dialogue, especially between myself and one of my closest friends (and confident) during my separation and divorce. She was one of the voices that asked me to take the high road and at the time she said it, she was completely in the right. I wasn’t in a good head space/emotional state when I was plotting my initial revenge. The ideas that I was coming up with would have violated one or more of my own three rules (i.e. finding someone he didn’t know go to his house/workplace and punch him in the face and walk away, massively key his car, troll his mistress online etc). So, her advice was solid. When cooler heads prevailed, I made a calculated decision, and I was ok with it. And she understood why. I am grateful that she pulled me back from the edge when I need it.
And if you’re wondering, I have not had a response. I can’t be sure he’s received it yet but honestly it doesn’t matter. If he should choose to respond – calls/texts can be ignored or blocked, email can be deleted, and post mail thrown out. This was always about my need to have an ending with him that was satisfying for me and now it is done. I have spoken my piece and whatever the universe decides should be done about it, I can accept that.
To end the week on a high note – here is a polar bear playing in the recent snowfall, just in case you missed it 😍😍😍.
