“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.” (E. Joseph Cossman) One year ago today I was worrying about the fact I was spending my last night as an officially married woman. The next morning was the day I drove to the courthouse, got divorced, went home and loaded my car with my suitcases, two youngest children and two dogs, and drove to Utah. One year ago today I cried myself to sleep (not that I was able to sleep much.) One year ago today I was worrying and wondering about creating a new life and rebuilding a new existence for my children and I. I worried about how I was going to do that, and I wondered how it was all going to work out. I struggled to comprehend what the new and unexpected life could possibly turn out to be. July 12, 2009. A day and a night of worry and burdens heavier than I ever imagined I would bear and pain I didn't know how I was going to live through. That's what I was worrying about one year ago today. But pain and enduring in spite of it is an interesting thing."Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." (Lance Armstrong) I am so glad I didn't quit last year when the going was SO rough. I am so grateful that somehow I kept pressing forward. Because the pain is gone. July 12, 2010. Today, I'm not worrying about anything.
