Fractured Lives

Divorce has a basic effect on people's lives. It fractures almost anything they held jointly. These fissures extend from family, finance, friends and sometimes even to employment.

When yesterday's comfortable places are suddenly cold and unfriendly the effect is startling. You knew the divorce would have consequences but never really thought how far that event would ripple.

This period is an awakening of recognizing yesterday and today. What was a comfort zone in the past no longer can be counted on to provide the support desired. Today you find the need to make new places of comfort. Some may be the same as yesterday but not all will make the transfer to the new you.

It will tempting to shy away from places, people, events that were held jointly as they may not be your future. Give them all a chance but if it does not work move to something, some person, some event that is for tomorrow.

We learn from events of yesterday to make a better tomorrow. Use the lessons learned to not walk the same steps or follow patterns as before.

If you think about the opportunity ahead it is exciting. You can begin fresh, you can plan how you want to live, where you want to live and with someone or alone. Keep this positive attitude to inspire you to take positive steps for success in your new life. When haunted by old memories force them aside to make space for your new world. It awaits you just ahead.

Always,
Gay
