And I am doing great. Just got back from a California work trip and drove Route 66 all the way back. Now I'm chilling in Branson (of all places lol) and got a fun weekend planned alone. My little football team is in the championship game on Sunday so I get to watch that in person this time. And then it's home and getting ready for the Fourth of July. About 50 people are expected and this year will be the best show I have ever put on.

I don't talk with my ex, don't know her number, don't know where she lives, and I genuinely do not care. We had twenty mostly good years together, and now one whole one apart. And of course, I miss my dog, my old house, the pace of my old life... And I definitely miss who I thought she was before the blindside and betrayal. But it is her loss, and I am thriving. She did me a tremendous favor and made room in my life for someone else else someday. Hopefully. But if not, then that's ok too. Better alone than feeling alone with someone.

If you are broken right now, imagine yourself a year from today. You will be doing A LOT better too. It only gets better from here.
