I'm starting to accept the fact that I am truly closing a chapter in my life. It has been filled with many wonderful and difficult times. Although it is painful and I am sad, I am also very much looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my life. I feel it is time to move on and try something new! In a way, I am shedding my skin and my past as a snake sheds its' skin. I am a different person with different needs compared to the woman I was 5, 10 or 15 years ago. It's not easy to admit when there are things in your life which simply no longer work . Or no longer provide joy or love. It is truly hard to face your reality and acknowledge when you are unhappy. It is even harder to accept the fact that you must leave behind the past. But I'm finding out that if I want to find my inner peace and solace, I must take this new journey in my life. I must be brave and totally turn my world "upside down". I'm having faith that once the storm moves through, my rainbow will shine so brightly it will fill my heart and soul with happiness!
