I have been married twice and divorced once. My first marriage was to my high school sweetheart. On a good day I say that we forgot to break up. On a bad day I call him an a*s&s*h^o%l#e.
Divorce has so many dimensions -- many of them falsely and tragically accentuated during the holidaze, especially despair and loneliness. For many folks, divorce is a relief, a breather, freedom, renewal, a second chance, a time to see what you want and who you are.
This article, 10 Ways to Celebrate Your Divorce first appeared on MSN.com and has since been syndicated galore. I am happy to say that numbers 4 and 7 on the list are mine. I am including the article today as the holiday season officially begins. I am not making light of the intensity of divorce. (My parents split when I was young and I am still not over it.) Just know that for many, the coming new year signifies a new beginning, a new chance to get the love-thing right.
It can be done.
