Tears flowing
I wrote this about a month ago, today I decided to publish it.
Was I not worth the fight? How does someone you spent half your life with, decide they don’t want to work on your relationship anymore?
Too much…pain, stress, anxiety.
I know he still cares, he’s crumbling More each day, so either way there’s pain.
Why cant some people state what they want or need? Why is everything hidden, feelings, emotions….was that something that was taught?
I know I am a good person and I will find my happiness, I wish I didn’t have to go through such an emotional rollercoaster to get there.

Struggling
Grateful for waking up and doing my 5 minute stretch routine that I started doing daily. I’ve been consistent with the am need to work on the pm stretching.
Although I have many things to be happy about, new journey, path, home, I find myself tormented by my emotions.
Feeling sad that I have to let go of someone I love, my life as a wife, and the good part of our lives together. I say good part because, only the last 2 have been painful. We’ve been married for 25 years, and together from an additional 8.
I’m excited for the new journey but that’s the only thing keeping me in a positive mindset. I consider myself to be a strong, independent woman but at the same time I wish I still had the guidance and safety he provided.

So much going on
Listed our home today, can’t believe after 22 years living here we’ll be leaving one day. Feeling sad and happy.
Found a place that I can actually see myself in, so all good emotions running through me. Keeping fingers crossed that I get it!
Had a great beach day with the girls today! Jenks Inlet Beach again. Perfect weather, and company.
Lunch at the wharf side patio bar. Food was good and so were the drinks and service. If you’re an oyster fan, order it, you won’t be dissolved!

Heart full and broken
My heart is full because this week I was able to spend a lot of time with her.
We had good quality time the three of us, played with the sprinkler, pool, water balloons, fireworks, And we even went out for ice cream one day which was a first for all of us to do together.
That’s why my heart is full. I feel blessed that I am able to spend this time with her I know she enjoys my company by her reactions.
There’s a heaviness when I think about our time that’s spent together will come to an end.
I wish it didn’t have to be like this, I wish it didn’t have to end, but it’s not in my control. That’s why my heart is broken.
I’ve read you have to let go of things you can no longer control That’s much easier said than done. Especially when love is involved.
It was only today that I realized after spending those days with her, when this comes to an end, I will miss her. That explains why for the last 2 days I have been a little emotional.
Separating the mind from the heart is probably one of the hardest things to do. Thoughts and feelings. Both strong.
I always believed in fate. Things happen for a reason Is that fate I wonder.

Graduation Party
Went to my high school friends daughter college grad party yesterday. We’re been friends for over 34 years!
Nice party, got to see a lot of high school friends that I haven’t seen in a long time! Some 15 years, some for 25!
Glad I was able to make it!

Beach daze!
Morning! Went to the beach yesterday, Donovan’s Reef, located in Sea Bright NJ.
Just a couple girls and I. Love this beach, it’s clean, and Donovan’s is 21+ has music, their food and drinks are always good too!
I usually get the blackened salmon, either over a salad, sandwich or platter, but I choose the chicken kebobs, 2 skewers, and marinated perfectly!
You can’t bring any food, drinks, coolers in but they provide water for you throughout the place.

Happy Hump Day
Yesterday went out to dinner with my bestie of over 39 years! I so cherish her and her friendship.
Dinner was at The Beach Tavern, channel club, Monmouth Beach. Delicious!!! Pricey but we’ll worth it!
Sushi was the best I’ve ever had. Dinners were of excellent quality and portion. Dessert, well we made sure we had room for that heated brownie served with caramel ice cream!
Service and atmosphere was great too! I highly recommend!

House hunting
Happy Sunday all! Today I went to an open house this one was in long branch, it was nice but next to a business, not what I was looking for.
Stayed in the area for an hour just driving around, lived in Jersey my whole life and never heard of Ocean Port, so cute, they had a paddle club! Both my niece and nephew graduated from Monmouth University, and this was also the first time I drove by that! What a beautiful campus!
Ended the day with a little shopping trip to Nordstrom rack which never disappoints! Headed back home late in the afternoon and picked up dinner another win no cooking!

And another one!
Wow just amazing, I actually went to the beach a second day in a row, while living in Jersey!
Today was Manasquan. The last two was at this beach was twenty years ago. I had taken my niece and nephews for the first time on my own, we had a beautiful day and I will never forget it!
The town had obviously changed over the last twenty years and the vibe was nice. Didn’t feel like home, it was very vacation like.
Beach is clean, beautiful, and you can bring your own cooler just pack it up! Parking is free on the street, or ten dollars for the day in the metered lot that requires an app.
I was grateful I decided to go to the beach with a different set of girls for the second day in a row, another good relaxing day with plenty of laughs and amazing women!

Beach Day!
Jenkinson’s Inlet Beach…. perfect day, with the best girls. Weather was perfect the breeze made it so you didn’t feel the heat!
Ended the day at the Shrimp Box, outside the shrimp box dining.
New England clam chowder was delicious and so was the lobster bisque. Girls liked the scallop app, we also ordered the mussels in a white wine garlic sauce, but was disappointed. Sauce was creamy and not so white wine, and the mussels were a little fishy.
Thankfully the company and conversation were amazing!
