<br />
3 1/2 years ago I learned that my partner of 10 years plus was seeing someone else. To say that I was devastated would be a huge understatement. It turned my entire world upside down - and some days it still spins.<br />

you believe that the fault is all yours, that something you did must be the reason, you didn't give enough, you didn't love enough, you weren't enough.... but the reality is it was never about me. At the time a good friend did tell me this but it has taken me this long to understand what she really meant. It was never about me....<br />

I wanted to hide from the world and never come out again, I wanted the world to feel my pain,although truth be known, I wouldn't ever wish that kind of pain on anyone. I wanted someone to take me aside, wave some magic wand and make it all better - but I didn't know then what better was.<br />
<img height="425" src="http://captainkimo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/West-Palm-Beach-Sunrise-at-the-Beach.jpg" width="640" /><br />
People told me I would be free on my own, that the world would be my oyster, I would be the master of my own destiny, I could do what I wanted when I wanted... and I didn't want any of this. I wanted my life back - all of it, just how it had been. It doesn't happen like that.<br />
<img height="478" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQfJOFmfYgZa4RqJVCdlzVkdmuE2gKECLZJut7BMlfB9ghgp4Om" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Nobody told me how I would cope on my own, endless nights and weekends with my own company, forging a new life, a new way of doing things with and for me. It was daunting to say the least, but I have done a lot for me over the last 3 years.<br />

<br />
I ran away to Perth for a year and I loved being there, I was closer to 2 of my adult children living there, and formed a great friendship with my youngest daughter. She was my salvation, and I really don't know how I would have got through any of this without her. She physically and emotionally supported me when I should have been doing that for her. My eldest has also been there for me when I've wanted to throw in the towel, at the end of the phone or a skype conversation, when I needed her most.<br />
<img alt="sunrise beach sand wallpaper" src="http://webneel.com/wallpaper/sites/default/files/images/08-2013/22-sunrise-beach-sand-wallpaper.preview.jpg" /><br />
I have learned humility, eaten a very large slice of humble pie, cried, laughed and laughed, and cried some more, I've lost friends and made new ones, and strengthened friendships that have been so so helpful in regaining my life.<br />
<img alt="Image result for images sunrises" height="358" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTD6rbLwqdI14R647DvNG9drBDgzxFLMAyB38_ynghMjbfarK4eIA" width="640" />Not every day is a perfect day, there are still lots of days when I feel alone, but I am not lonely. There are days when I want cry and change my world, but my world is my world and I'm getting to enjoy it some more.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://images.naldzgraphics.net/2010/08/3-starfish-sunrise-wallpaper.jpg" width="640" /><br />
I'm viewing the world as my oyster, I am learning to love me! I've donned those big girl panties, and I have chosen to live my life with gratitude and thankfulness! Every single day!<br />

seriously, they need an AA for youtube addicts, I am on it way tooo often. Well mainly first thing in the morning and last thing at night, thanks to my trusty i-pad mini, I can sneak beneath the covers with my earplugs on and watch away 'til the wee small hours, and not annoy Rowing Man in the slightest. Trouble is, it is a little hard getting up in the morning, but when I do, I make a tasty first morning cuppa, and ... you guessed it! Prop up in bed on my fluffy pillows, and watch some more<br />

love the fabric, the style (wrap around but the hem is held with a bias to stop the wind grabbing it and doing a Marilyn Monroe), the BIG floppy bow, and the shawl collar....<br />

so here we have the new pink shirt, I just loved this as soon as I saw it Monday, I love the style and the soft pink... perfect for our hot summer days - especially when I teamed it up with these jumbo faux pearl beads... they are new too!<br />

and these days I keep my hair rather short, they say a photo's are an accurate picture, but gosh I wish that I was closer to 50 then 60!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

actually I cannot really remember what happened last Wednesday, I did work in my quilt shop, and I did work on some customer quilts...however... I cannot find my camera (panasonic Lumix), right now so will make do with these snaps...from my Canon (which I don't use near enough!)<br />

I found this <a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/october-photo-a-day-challenge-list/">here</a>... and thought... why not?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

so during my early morning walk, I stood here and soaked in the view, the peace and solitude, undisturbed...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and then I stood and played a bit with these...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rowing Man was really on the edge of his seat with excitement, when these two won their double sculls and picked up a gold medal, what a lot of noise for one man!! Can you imagine what he might be like tomorrow night when we join the Bonds to watch Hamish...<br />

and here is my cute little puppy, she is curled up on our bed, her body clock is telling her it is bedtime, and she is wanting a bit of company ...<br />
Time tomorrow to think about where we are at with building the house, have all the kitchen and bathrooms sorted, and all the showers, loos, taps, sinks, basins, fridge, dishwasher etc purchased, spent time with the electrician sorting out wiring, plugs, internet/phone lines, heating ducts etc etc... so many decisions made and to be made..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
anyway, enjoy your week, what is left of it, certainly enjoy your weekend, and hope I you are enjoying watching the Olympics .<br />

check out <a href="http://thelastpiece.typepad.com/the_last_piece/">Sarah's </a>book, full of marvellous inspiration, I have already started working on " A Wing & A Prayer" - started in flight on the way to Perth a few weeks ago but have come to a ground halt until<a href="http://www.stitchplayroom.com/stitch-blog/"> Fenella</a> sends me some more of the fabric I am missing... Of course I stock this book of Sarah's in my shop if you want a copy?<br />
