As I continue my journey of going at life, on my own, I have discovered the “thing” which I miss the most (to this point…), and it involves decisions.
Since the separation I have had to make all the decisions, there is not one thing that someone else decides for me at any given point or time. This, oddly enough was not something I ever thought about as a “side-effect” of divorce. Yet each day and each decision made, I have realized, was something I had very few of during my twelve years of marriage. It’s n
And as I was pondering all these emotions and feelings I have been overwhelmed with, I realized that one of them is the power and energy that making decisions on one’s own.

Honestly I miss a having decisions made for me, not because I couldn’t make them or didn’t want to, but because some days I am to exhausted to make them.

Karin ~ A thought…what if when you were feeling overwhelmed by decision you didn’t force yourself to make it, even if it’s about what to have for dinner? I’ve tried this idea of “if you don’t know what to do, wait”. It’s been interesting. At first it felt weird, but then I noticed that when I wait, an answer comes easily. Maybe I’m giving my inner voice space to be heard, I don’t know. I imagine that as you go forward, you’ll find that you love making decisions for yourself. Think about it, the possibilities are limitless…you could decide to do ANYthing you want. Wishing you peace.
Thank you Rhonda
