37 : Note Your Progress

I had a horrible dream the other night. While the specifics are a little foggy as they tend to be in dreams, I woke up with that sick feeling in my stomach. I was back to the earliest phases of my marriage ending when my husband first told me he was unhappy. Though it was just a dream, I woke up in a panic. I suddenly realized it was just a dream. Yes, my marriage was still ending. Yes, the divorce was inevitable. But I had moved forward. Enough time had passed and I was actually comfortable knowing what was ahead (as far as my marriage was concerned). A few months ago, I never thought I’d wake up from a dream only to be relieved to know I was getting divorced. But here I was. And it felt good.
