Happy New Year or is it New Life?

17 days into the new year and musing on the last six months. A year ago, vacationing in Paris, happily(?) married, enjoying the City of Lights for the sixth or seventh visit and planning with my wife living in France for an extended period of time each year ....some time in the future after #1 daughter is out of college. Thinking apartment time share or house swap.

Now, initiating the story of this journey, sitting in my new home with two dogs, 4 months separated from my wife. I can't help but look back, but I wake up each day wanting to look forward. Divorce complicates everything. Relationships are stretched, families are confushed, friends and acquaintances disappear, finances are turned upside down and faith is challenged.

Now, listening to motivational cd's, counseling with my pastor, doing 1, 2, 5 year plans, tearing them up and starting over. The journey continues.
