Rebirth?

Let's see....you look at this picture and you see 2 people in love having a great time, right? Well that's exactly what this picture represents. This picture was taken 8 years ago one day after my wedding. I was married on March 30, 1998. Yes, that would make today my 8 year anniversary except for one thing. My husband and I have been separated for a year now. Though technically still married, we both have moved on and are involved in new relationships now but it doesn't take away the fact that 8 years ago today life was just beginning for the both of us. I guess I am one of those old fashioned people who wanted to be together forever through good and bad, sickness and health and etc.... Well that lasted for a while anyway. Life has a way of twisting and turning and if you're not careful, you can get left behind. The saying goes that everything happens for a reason and that everything is a learning experience. I try to see it as the end of a chapter in my life and that bigger and better things are waiting for me in the future. All I know is I can't get back the years I put in and I can only try to not make the same mistakes in the future. I don't know what is in store for me but right now I am with someone very special and I only hope that my past experience will help strengthen my present relationship. You never know what lies ahead but you can always be better prepared. I choose to take it one day at a time...
