In my last post I explored how I recently found myself at a crossroads. I believe I was most fortunate that this happened because it helped me to find my path again. Life is like that sometimes. We get caught up in our routines and stop paying attention to just where we are going.
Being in Toronto along with a couple of other incidents shook me out of my stupor and forced me to take a reckoning of just where I was and where I was going.
When I began my PhD I intended to get to the point where I really did not need to be in any particular place so long as I had access to the Internet. Ideally that was to be somewhere sunny and warm like a beach in Thailand or Vietnam.
This week I have repostioned myself to move back to that path. I have set specific goals, figured out what I need to do and now I am back into the life I both want and need.
That does mean a change in my relationship with Margo and that really was the most difficult step for me. But I know I was honest and honourable with her. We have been friends for almost a decade and I hope we remain friends forever. My time with Margo gave me a safe place to heal and to become whole again. That is a precious gift I will always cherish.
