Through the looking glass.

It took two years, but I'm definitely on the other side, the down slope of divorcing. I'm not in the verdant, peaceful valley, but everyday is no longer a struggle and slog. I do not wish ex ill will. I have compassion for his human struggles and--hallelujah--I do not want to get back together with him, even though it would help me financially. Fuck the finances, I say, and the angels laugh and sing. "Now she gets it. The world is full of abundance and uncertainty and cute kittens--lots of cute kittens. What is finite is clean air and water." That's when I stop listening. I can't go straight from divorce to fixing the ills of humankind. I'm going to take some time to revel in this new place. With my new kitten. Behold, the handsomeness of Clooney, the world's cutest kitten.

Soon I will learn to crop so you don't have to see my wrinkly mug in Clooney pics.

  1. Clooooooney!!! Love. Love. Love. God comes in all forms and for me its in animals. Especially those cute little itty bitty ones.

    Also, is there such thing as a verdant, peaceful valley? The only valley I'm familiar with is the one about death. I say you're climbing up the mountain toward a peak. You're getting there... I'm trudging along, right next to you.

    p.s. your mug is beautiful

    xoxo
