Saving Private Time

I took the advice to stay away from other women, not date, don't get involved, etc. with somewhat of a pinch of salt. What harm would it do to dip my toe back in the water? After all, I've spent most of my adult life in a relationship - it's what I know, it's what I like, it's what I am comfortable with.

But now I can see the point. Don't get me wrong, I am in love with a beautiful, strong, intelligent woman, but there is now this feeling of wanting to just do my own thing when I want to do it. I've become conditioned to always ensuring that what I did was okay with someone else and this past year or so has shown me the occasional glimpse of what it's like to have complete free will to do whatever, whenever, wherever, and with whomever... it feels good!! And it's a time I don't want to miss out on.

If you're newly separated you need time to get back to normal. Everything has been upside down in my life for the past few years and it's only right about now can I say that I'm beginning to lose the numb feeling. Take time for yourself - don't rush back in.
