Happiness

My friend Stacey tells me that divorced women are happier in the end and men are financially better off...I can see that, I think.

It's been a month since the bomb dropped and I've managed to pick myself up, get a job, and get ready to move.  Next week, I'm packing what I can in my car, shipping what I can't and buying the rest when I get there...then I'll drive 2100 miles to my new home where I'll see this every day when I leave work:


I really didn't expect Reno to be so beautiful, but truly, I was stunned.  The mountains are gorgeous, and just a one hour drive away is north Lake Tahoe...and a prettier spot will be hard to find.





I had such a lovely time on my visit.  The folks at Jimmy Beans were beyond wonderful and nice and I can't wait to start working with them.

A new chapter where I'll get to shine...it's truly a wonderful thing.

(this isn't to say I'm not still sad, shocked, stunned, scared and all the other stuff, but I do see my way out).
