Ok... so if anyone who reads this might know, my ex made it very difficult for me to move on. I have been carrying around this for many years now and have felt the weight every step of the way.... until now!
The other day, I realized why I went through that; It was to help someone else. A neighbor (the first person I met in my condo building) came in and I could sense that something was wrong. She started to tell me a tale of verbal and physical abuse and all flashed back to me. All I could do was to hold her, tell her to cry it out and to share my story.
After sending her back to her condo with the relief that she was not the only one out there in this situation, I went for the longest walk of my life. I cried.... but this time it was not tears of sadness.... but tears of joy that a weight had been lifted from so many years of heart break and loneliness... It is gone. A new day has come along and I can finally breathe again. I just felt everything lift and I can truly see why I went through this... to help someone else. And that is more important to me than anything I can ever imagine!
There is no quote for the day - just a song recommended from a co-worker:
Joshua Radin - "Brand New Day" ( I think you should listen to it!)

Yep, you hate to go back to the old adage: "Everything happens for a reason". However, as we age we see it a lot more clearly, don't we?? Love you good friend!!!
