Yeah. I’m resilient, thank God! And you seem to have Sam pegged. He really wanted me to make him feel better about the situation and I refused. Really selfish, huh?

Nice meeting you. Thanks for finding me!

Hi–I found your blog through David’s, and I’m really impressed–it’s been less than two months since the breakup and you seem so far on your way to healing. I read the post about the divorce “party,” and when I saw that he kept asking if you were going to recover I thought, ARGH! Don’t you love when someone is like, “Sorry, I know I’ve broken your heart because how can you live without me, but please reassure me that I’m not as terrible a person as I think I am by telling me that it’s OK that I broke your heart.” Looks like you’re showing him that you not only can, but you are!

[...] Know the feeling? I certainly do. No, this isn’t a pity party. I’m thinking back years ago to my first girlfriend, post-divorce. I was reminded of all this when I read Nicki at Suddenly Single Journey and her blog post: Envisioning a room of my own. [...]

Well, I’m so glad I could inspire a post.
I understand completely. I think Sam had a freak out. Me free was too real for him. Of course, me married was too real. Maybe it’s just me? Nahhh!

I hope you get that bedroom you want! Curious about the breakup on the eve of your divorce. I had something similar happen – when a girlfriend I intended to marry broke up with me on the eve of me moving into a new place that she helped me pick out. I guess some people can’t fathom the future until it’s right in their face. I’ll probably blog about this topic.

I have a grocery bag full of shells we collected nearly four years ago at Christmas time. We went down to visit my in-laws and took our son to the beach to collect shells (I really wanted to have that memory). The plan was to decorate with them. I feel sort of silly keeping them all this time, but your post has encouraged me to do one of two things: either figure out what exactly I’d like to do with them or somehow send them to you so you can enjoy the beach in your space.

Were it not for hurricanes, I might not mind forgoing seasons for a lovely cottage in the Florida keys. I definitely get why you’d want to have that kind of relaxing atmosphere.

I spent time on a beach in Costa Rica. And I have been to many beach in US. The thought of waking up at 6am to the sounds of waves crashing, and the palm leaves rustling in the wind.

Yeah, I know why you want your room to look like this.

All you will need after that is a fan, a hammock (it’s pretty cool, but not pratical) and a tropical cd.

Put the fan on low and set it to swing back and forth. Then especially for the winter months, get a heater, and when the fan hits the heat, it will blow the heat in a circular pattern.

Then to top it off, play the cd. Put on a comfortable set of clothing and lie on the bed. (Hammock in the bedroom, is awesome. It will rock back and forth… Still not practical)

Then drift away.
