A VERY helpful book as I journey through divorce. The 5 things we cannot change are 1. Everything changes & ends. 2. Things don‘t always go according to plan. 3. Life isn‘t always fair. 4. Pain is part of life. 5. People aren‘t loving & loyal all the time. I‘m practicing acceptance & embrace. Haven‘t arrived at happiness yet but still standing, trying to say Yes to life. Recommended for anyone dealing with the unwanted or unexpected. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Suet624 I‘m sorry to hear about what‘s going on for you. It‘s a very rough transition. May you find some peace soon with all that is happening. 6y
DocBrown Thank you @Suet624 for your kind words. As it happens, we have put the process on hold for now, as we try to work through things, both individually and together. The future is uncertain but I hold on to hope, even as I let go of expectations. 6y
Suet624 That‘s so great that you‘re still working on things. I wish you much luck with it all. I realized this morning that if my ex had given me some time to live apart for a period of time I would have definitely gone back to him. But his pride and fear didn‘t allow for that. Just my 2 cents for the morning. 😁 6y
DocBrown I‘m so sorry @Suet624 for 20/20 hindsight. I‘m always interested in hearing others‘ stories so please feel free to share as much as you‘re comfortable. 6y
