Live without Apologies

A friend of mine asked me if I felt guilty having fun without my kids.  

I said "No.  I simply adapted to divorced life and trust they are having their own fun without me too."

It's a part of life I had to accept.

It's not good or bad, it just is.

No one plans to get divorced and spend half their time without their kids.  However, more often than not it becomes a fact of life.  

Yet here we are.  And we promise ourselves the kids will be okay.  They won't resent us or our decisions.

They will grow up with more hope.  They will think they aren't going to make the same mistakes their parents did.  This is of course what we think we want.  

Splitting up a family has consequences, but we never should apology for our choices.  

It's not even about divorce. Sometimes it's simply two families who were once together and parted ways.  That time will still be precious.   That time is not discounted.  

So What do we do?

We keep moving forward with good intent and warm hearts.  We wish them well and carry on.

Without regrets. 
Without apologies.  
We stay true to ourselves and our hearts.  

Life is a beautiful space when we choose to see the beauty all around us. When we choose to leave the imperfections behind and only be in the mist of the beauty all around us.

Life will sneak up on us when we aren't paying attention.  Embrace the goodness in every single day.  

Be present.  Be whole.  Be love.
