As I sat down and reviewed my budget and spending for the last six months, I had a quiet moment where it sunk in that I can actually do this. As odd as this might sound considering my ex-husband told me he would miss my resourcefulness, I think what I feared most was being able to do life on my own - the every day finances, managing a household, feeding myself, taking care of my car, etc.
It's really odd to think about when you consider the detailed work I do for a living, the multi-state tax returns I did in the early years of our marriage, the errors we found in our mortgage paperwork when we bought a house, all the vacations I planned, etc. I had proven my ability to "adult" over and over throughout the last two decades. Yet this is what I feared most.
So I'm going to sit with this a moment. I'm just a few days away from six months since the divorce and I'm truly making it and thriving.
