After the Rain

After ranting in my last post and crying bucket loads of tears, I had to make it a “protected” post. If you haven’t read it, you can email me at thefitmommy(at)yahoo(dot)com for the password. Although before locking it, a lot have already read it and I feel that some people might have been weirded out by it, but I am also glad to know that I have the support of my close friends and family though this trying time.

On a lighter note, I got this in the mail today:

It’s more exquisite than I imagined it to be! I bought this online from Alaina’s blog, Ms. Single Mama. It’s an antiqued leaf necklace for only US$28.00 with free international shipping! I have been reading and back reading her blog for a month now, and a lot of her posts resonates in what I have been going through. I have been meaning to do some drastic physical change and my choices were: color my hair chestnut brown (or red!) or get a small tattoo… Then, I saw this necklace and fell in love with it immediately. A new necklace, to celebrate just ME. (The tattoo will have to wait.)

It may sound that I am closing my doors on my marriage. But, I am not. I still love him – very much so. But there are just some values that I need to stand up and fight for. And I am also definitely not closing my door on LOVE. Even if I am going through this pain. I am pretty sure that the pain that I am feeling is nothing compared to others out there with problems bigger than mine. However, I recently found myself developing an allergy to strikingly handsome chiseled men. In view of the fact that my husband is a strikingly handsome chiseled man.

Anyhow, I would like to thank Alaina for the free e-book that came with the necklace, as well as the extra chain that I might need if I wanted to make the necklace longer. And the small note that made my day even better.
