It’s Almost a Year into Building a Whole New Life……
It is almost coming up on one year since I started my new, single life….at the age of 57.
As with any anniversary, I feel the nudge to look back and see how far I have come.
Sitting here this morning, and thinking about how terrified and grief stricken I was those first seven months….
I was in survival mode.
All of my energy was taken up with making it through the day. Also….getting my ducks in a row. Finding a new place to live, finding a doctor, finding an insurance plan, learning my way around my new neighborhood, getting used to a completely different commute to work, getting to know my new congregation, moving my things into my new office, organizing my living space, getting acquainted with my housemates and trying to figure out a way to be part of the household community. There was so much to just get in place. Are you noticing how many times the word “new” is mentioned in the above paragraph?
