Hi MJ, and welcome to FWW! I am glad you can relate to my posts, and that you have tuned in. Yeah, the first year after divorce is tough, and subsequent years can be tough for other unrelated reasons, but it is important to remember that no progress can be made without effort - and that sometimes it takes a lot of it. The fact that you are alive means that there is hope. As long as we live and breathe, we should look to better ourselves, our situations, and the lives of those around us. Best of luck to you, and hope to see you around the blog...

Hi, this is my first time on a blog. However I can relate to you immensely. I am so overwhelmed around the clock. I am trying so hard. It will be a year in August since my divorce. Life is hard. I can relate. You sound strong sister! Hang in there. mj

I'm Ready for a Change of Pace

Funny thing about not having time to think about the rest of your life: that's usually when you can't keep those thoughts from invading your brain.

I am sitting in my peapod of an apartment, trying feverishly to finish all of my assignments, and feeling quite giddy about the fact that next weekend seems rather non-committal. By the end of the week, the thesis will be no more, and there will be just one more paper and two finals to go.

For the most part, this week is all that stands between me and guilt-free napping and cable television. Problem is, my ADD won't let me focus on getting my work done.

My mind is plagued with thoughts of life on the other side. What does one do with gratuitous amount of free time? I know for a fact that I don't handle copious amounts of unscheduled time well. Most of the silly things I have done in life have come because I had more free time than I knew what to do with.

Ironically, I can't wait to see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. Humans make mistakes, after all, and this school business has left me with very little time to be human. I am ready for a change of pace...
