My Miracle

I began counselling soon after the separation became permanent. One of the biggest ah ha moments for me was when my counsellor walked me through an exercise. She said, "I want you to close your eyes and pretend that you wake up one day and all your problems have disappeared. You feel lighter, you feel happier, you feel at peace. Everything around you is brighter and more beautiful." Then she asked me what it would take for me to get to that place. For me to experience my "miracle". I quickly realized that I already HAD! This is exactly how I felt a few days after the separation. She helped me see that my separation was infact a miracle.... This hit me hard. Isn't divorce suppose to be a dark miserable thing? Something horrible and depressing? A miracle? Yup....it is.
