Feeling My Smile

As many of you know I am in the midst of a divorce from my husband of almost 20 years. While it was my decision it didn't make it any easier. There have been good days and not so good days over the last 6 weeks and I am sure that phenomenon will continue for quite some time.

My boys and I moved last weekend and while it is a bit overwhelming trying to fit stuff from a 2700 square foot house into 1500 square feet house it is getting done and as each day has passed I find myself smiling more and feeling really good.

I feel guilty at times because with all the emotions that I am feeling I am very happy and at peace with my decision. But I have friends who admonish me not to apologize for being happy. What a concept.

While I am not new to the act of smiling, it is new for me to actually feel my smile deep within me. With the long and sometimes tumultuous road ahead of me I am in a good space emotionally and for that I am grateful.

That's amazing :) I'm really happy for you, and proud! It's not easy going through something like that, and it takes a really good person to be able to smile.
 
That is good to hear. There will be really crappy days, but take it from me, it can only get better from here. Keep smiling :)
 
I am so glad to read this!! You just keep smiling and don't let anyone tell ya its wrong! You go girl!
 
Your smile is a wonderful thing Travis!! It's contagious, you made me smile reading it! :D

Side note: from your pic you don't look old enough to be married 20 yrs!!!
 
You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. Let yourself feel happy! You deserve it! And keep on smiling. :)
 
Congrats on seeing the positivity with your major life changes. You are a great example for your boys, and for everyone else on here!
 
Travis you really are a pillar of emotional and physical strength. Change is never easy, . . ever. You are very inspiring. Hang in there.
