Oh June…I survived you!

As the month of June comes to a close, I feel relief!   I survived!  That may not seem like much to you, but as I got into the month, I was working hard to not dwell on two dates that were difficult for me…One was my wedding anniversary (June 8) and the other was my “divorcery” (June 18).  

I can honestly say that I got through both of those days with minimal interruption or upset.   A couple of my friends made a point of checking on me (totally not expected, but totally appreciated!).   I did not make plans on those days and that was helpful.   I had those days to do what I wanted.   Both days started similarly…memories on Facebook, that were a little hard to see.   I know you can turn off memories on Facebook, but they are part of who I am so I don’t know if I’m really there yet.

As the days went on, I was busy, working on my projects and happily made entries on my “done” lists.  I survived!   I think both of those days were rainy (I’m assuming since most of June was rainy!) so I didn’t go to the pool.   The best part, both days really became more “normal” than I expected.  

Now, I’m not going to say that thoughts of my wedding and my divorce days were not on my mind, because I know those thoughts will always be with me.   However, they were not there long enough to bring me down.   There were more thoughts about my future, rather than my past and that’s progress!

Then came the highlight of June 25…My 61^st Birthday!   WOO HOO!   It was celebrated with my family in Louisville…lots of laughs, lots of love with my parents (who I am truly blessed to have), my three siblings and my dear friend, Lyn!   The celebration continued with pool time and a summer punch!   Oh…and let’s not forget the flirting that occurred on June 24…LOL!!

I am always grateful for the love and well wishes of my Facebook friends as well.   Say what you will about Facebook, but you can’t help but feel loved when so many people send a heart or a quick message!   Love you all!

During the month of June, I logged a lot of miles on my car, enjoyed a few happy hours, and I had two days at the pool.   I did not have any problem staying busy!   I also got a dose of reality from loving friends...My marriage is over and although I thought we were different from other divorced couples, we're not.   It was a harsh reality.  (I'll be writing more about that another time!).   

The worse part about today, the last day of June…it reminds me how quickly the time goes!   The best part?  Knowing that Baby T will be here in about ten weeks!   Have I mentioned that I CAN’T WAIT????

Bring it on July!!   I'm ready for you!!
