I remember exactly when I received the original insight mentioned below. I was on my way to the Seattle Folklife festival for the very first time, something on my "Too Married To Do" list, but swirling along with my excitement was a whole mixture of guilt, sadness, and self doubt. It was then that this scene from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves popped into my mind, and I realized that if my ex and I were both going to be miserable, I may just as well have stayed. If I weren't enjoying myself and celebrating my new found freedom, then I was doing her a disservice and making her suffer for nothing.
I also find it an interesting synchronicity that I "just happen" to be posting this on the anniversary of our divorce being finalized. I specifically wanted it to be a day that I could remember, as well as have something else to celebrate besides breaking someone's heart. So...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANYA TUCKER!!
