True Love Tuesday: Choosing Joy

In the last week I have been on an emotional roller coaster. My husband's decision to move out was at best horrendous to my soul. However if truth be told, I asked him to leave in a mean and nasty way. Yes, I am owning this. Not only did I ask him to leave, but I did not cook a decent Father's Day meal. I just was so mad that I didn't care. So taking a page from Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, I have decided to handle things differently. I love my husband deeply and he is at a crossroads in his life just as I am. So rather than fight with me, he thought it best to put some space between us. I am not in agreement with this, but it is what it is. I woke this morning with a completely different attitude and the universe responded. In the span of 24 hours I have returned my home and family back to a sense of harmony and love. I kissed and hugged my husband and I laughed with my children. This is the woman I want to be--happy and joyous and full of gratitude.
