Life's Milestones

Been a hectic week! Finals were done on Tuesday. They went fine. Though I think I received the worst set of final grades ever with straight Bs. I'm not upset though, as I hardly studied at all this semester, so I shan't complain! A 'B' in Pharmacology without hardly studying is not so bad, I figure! And I'm now 4/5 of the way done with school! A milestone!

Today was another life marker with the finalization of my divorce. Good to have it off the 'to do' slate. I've had a lot of people ask me if I am 'happy' about this. Happy is sort of a funny way to describe a divorce; relieved, yes, happy? I dunno. I mean - nobody sets out getting married with the intention of getting a divorce down the road. But it happens, I accept that. I have learned that it can sometimes be very hard to get the simplest things in life. That it takes both people to make a marriage work. And that life is far too short to spend it unhappy. With that I have a set of lyrics to post. It's a simple list of things, that I bolded, that I think we all desire, need and deserve.

Honesty (Write Me A List) by Rodney Atkins-

He said, "Just think it over, and write me a list"
"So we can figure out what we both deserve"
She hardly could believe it, their love had come to this
Dividing and deciding his and hers
But she grabbed a paper napkin and ask the waitress for a pen
And one by one she wrote down what she wanted most from him

Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust
A little less time for the rest of the world
and more for the two of us
Kisses each morning, I love yous at night
Just like it use to be
The way life was when you were in love with me

She reached across the table and placed it in his hand
And said, "You know this isn't easy for me"
As he thought about the new car, the house and the land
And wondered what the bottom line would be
And a thousand other things that she'd want him to leave behind
But he never dreamed he'd open up that napkin and find

Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and love
A little less time for the rest of the world
And more for the two of us
Kisses each morning, I love yous at night
Just like it use to be
The way life was when you were in love with me

Well, he fought back the tears as he looked in her eyes
And said, " I don't even know where to start"
And she said, "Everything on that list in you hand
Is written somewhere in your heart"

Honesty, sincerity, just like it use to be
The way life was when you were in love with me
