'New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings' ~ Leo Tzu


I am happy, but sad. A very dear and close friend of mine is finally happy. After spending 14 years in a dead-end marriage and 4 years of post divorce wilderness, he has finally found the love of his life and I couldn't be happier for him, except for the tiny little detail that dictates every platonic male-female relationship: when one finds a significant other, the other party has to accept the demotion of number 1 to somewhere down the list. And that's cool, that's the way it's supposed to be, but it doesn't change the fact that I am feeling the sadness of letting go and the anxiety of the reorder that is to come.

I am ecstatic for my ex-husband, and was glad to finally meet and welcome this lovely lady into our family this weekend.
