Happy August 15th! :)
Its the "summer celebration day" in my home country, Italy.
I am in Germany, though, and I am going to celebrate summer my own way :)
I am going to swim in a lake/pond nearby and will have a grill party in the late afternoon with some Italian friends.
I feel better since a couple of days, mood swings but at least I dont spend the whole day crying as I used to do till few weeks ago. I am getting vitamine D in the morning, which really helps improving my mood (being in the sun 20 min a day would do the same, but its not sunny everyday here).
I realized yesterday my "divorce mourning" is over, I think I am kind of ready to move forward.
And I feel the energy and power running though my veins, it seems I will soon be able to go back to work. It makes me feel so alive, it's what I have been dreaming of doing my whole childhood and I really miss it! I want to go on with the work plans I left behind 7 months ago. I think I can do that!! :)
Today I am thankful for:
-a warm sunny day :)
-looking fwd seeing a good friend of mine on Friday.
-fresh grapefruit juice I had for breakfast: it's sooooo goooooood! :)
-swimming
-feeling happy for no reason.
As Kingkeld says, "Life is good!" and I would add "And we can improve it a lot, day by day".

Happy to be your new friend - Happy August 15th!! Sorry to hear that you are in divorce mourning. I too went through a pretty nasty divorce 15 years ago. At the time I thought my world was going to end, I had a 2 year old and a 3 year old. I just want to assure you that life does get better, much better. In hind site it was one of the best things that ever happened in my life - I just needed some distance to get clarity! In the mean time take care of your self - you are worth it!!

Summer celebration sounds like just what we all need. I hope that your upward mood continues. We all have our downs sometimes, but life seems to always have a funny way of getting us through. Enjoy your time with your friends today and on Friday. Oh and it is a wonderful thing to be happy for no reason - makes me smile for you. :)

Hi krystynecar, I am happy we are buddies now :)
Thanks a lot for your words. Within a year I have lost my mother and realized divorce was the only solution with my ex partner. These two things together really knocked me down, but its getting better :)
I forgot to take care of myself during that time, also because I was travelling a lot because of my job.
Lately I came to see again how beautiful life can be, and just this awareness makes me feel better.
Its great to have support from FS ppl! :)

Thanks, Sam! Su,mer celebration has been great! It gave me a lot of energy spending time with friends, speaking my own language and sun bathing! It is nice to be happy for no reason, I did not feel like this for such a long time that I forgot about this feelin! I can see things slowly improving, I really hope its my way out of that horrible time.

I am so sorry that you are dealing with so much in such a short period of time - but maybe this will be it for a while (that's what I tell my self when a bunch of crappy things happen at once - that was my cluster - now it's on to a good cluster!!!) It seems to work for me. I left my husband, had my father die suddenly at 55, then lose my grandfather to a brief but horrific battle with pancreatic cancer all with in 10 months. I think I was shell shocked! But if you don;t take care of your self then nothing else matters!
