especially if your marriage had lasted many years.

or perhaps both.

No matter how painful, divorce, like all endings,
opens the door to new beginnings.

Fear of the unknown is
the greatest fear of humankind,
and death the greatest unknown.

is a powerful beginning.

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

a joyful new future for yourself.
