The bubble suddenly burst and I came falling down with a thud. The Bible says that all things (good and bad) work for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.
I believe that firmly. I’m now settled down in my new home with my children and I’m beginning to explore myself to discover who I am and what I enjoy afresh. Being single has given me the freedom to do what I want without considering what anyone else but God will think or want.
I can have and do whatever I want and it feels good. I am enjoying myself thoroughly. They say that life begins at 40. That saying rings very true for me. I feel like I have been born again. I have made some major changes in my life that I am sure I would not have made had I still been married.
I take alcohol once in a while and when I do, I take only one or two glasses of wine. I do not allow myself to even get tipsy but I still enjoy the alcohol. I also play golf. Speaking of which, my daughter won in her first junior open golf competition and that has given me more incentive to continue with the never-to-ending struggle of learning to play golf.
I have made some new friends in the golfing circles. I have definitely become more sociable now than I was before. I love people and I enjoy making new friends. I believe in the goodness of humanity in spite of all the wrong things going on around us. But somehow we all have to survive in this world. On my part, I would say that I am past surviving. I am living.
