I am out of a long 5 years tunnel, going through a divorce from an abusive spouse and raising a handicap child. I am at the next stage that I now have balance after facing so many systems, (legal, educational, medical) lies, disappointing people and family not supporting my child's future or my former spouse. And today this 2007 I thought of the spirit that prevailed within me during the negative tunnel, and maybe my job today isn't my dream career, but I established a career again from my education. No, I didn't write for a decade and a half which is what I wanted to do before I rearranged myself to fit into someone else's agenda. But I untangled myself, one strand at a time and what is rekindling passion for me is watching other people who have had challengers, heartbreak, or special needs children and I would hear their positive word, or see their actions and slowly, very slowly since I had to get back to being self supporting while recovering my child, I have realized I set a foundation now for the rest o fmy life and it is now my launching pad to do what I really want, in whatever form. I met a writer three weeks ago and hearing his passion for his work inspired me for mine and reminded me just because I have been behind or oppressed from being unable to focus on passions in the past doesn't mean I have to continue that today. Today is a new day. And I can renew it everytime I put any amount of time or energy in to what brings me joy and makes me feel like my light is shining in the world. It may be slower, but I took care of reality and now I have this launching pad foundation and I know that now I can reach the stars! I don't give people that much power anymore. If they behaved badly I check to see if I did anything with less than honorable. It frees me today to put my energy to where it can create a new life for me rather than staying in the pain of the disappointment. Life is too precious to waste anymore or stay too long in tunnels if it is already finished. The divorce is finished. The job lay off finished. The district battles for my child's services is finished and revaluated every year. The worst is over. Now I can look to what is good and see what new ideas emerge from all the experience of overcomming and still standing and maybe exhausted but still can smile too knowing it is getting better everyday.
