I Am Seeking Inner Peace
[i]"Instead of asking
why they left,
now I ask.
what beauty will I create
in the space they no longer
occupy?"

A lot of times, after a break up or divorce, life seems to be put on hold. It would seem life is a standstill. But really, it is just one aspect of your life that is put on hold; the loss of a relationship. The other parts of life should still move on. I know it is easier said than done.
However, I would like to say that when I maintain a kind of normalcy for my kid, it helped me ALOT. Despite the effort on my part to keep life safe and secure for my kid, I want to say that my son was the one who kept me grounded and pushed me to sanity instead. Through my kid, I found new friendships with like-minded people in my community. Through him, I keep myself in check and focus on what is important for both of us. Through my love for him, I laugh, smile and seemed to be enjoying life all over again.
I'd also like to applaud my friend (whom I wrote about earlier). I met her earlier yesterday and told her the same. She seems to be making the effort to keep from losing herself; going for my pilates and running class, having lunch dates with friends etc. I hope she creates more beauty in her future life in spite of everything.
