Happy anniversary

In front of Multnomah Falls.

Someday I may not feel so much, dwell so long, or think so hard about today, my wedding anniversary.  But today is not that day.  And yet today I feel peace.  A tinge of regret and sadness yes, but mostly peace.  I was able to have a wonderful conversation with my ex-husband last weekend and now I feel freer than I ever did before.

And I'd like to dedicate a song.  And no, this isn't seventh grade I realize.  But it does have deep meaning to me.  Consider the following lyric;

"...In each other's shadow we grew less and less tall/ till eventually our theories couldn't explain it all…"


Here is a link to Ani DiFranco's "Both Hands"

  1. What a bittersweet day for you. I still am impressed and amazed at the good relationship you and he have. I would hope I could handle a divorce with the maturity you both have! :)

    Have a wonderful day! I'm thinking of you!
