I stood up after sending a text to a friend to see three CSX engines pulling a train past my apartment. I now know, there very likely will be more mid-train engines. I never would have experienced this if I had not divorced. This view, the noise that comes with it, the smaller space, it isn't something my ex would have even considered. So even as I miss the marriage I thought I had, I'm experiencing joy in a way I couldn't have without a divorce. And even in the midst of pain, for that I'm thankful.
