The Positive Thinking Thread

This section of TAM is loaded with gloom and doom, so I thought that perhaps starting a thread where you post at least one positive you had today, or something positive about your separation or divorce. In this kind of situation, it feels good and natural to commiserate. I know, I'm there, too. It is also much harder to see the positives, as they may require some thought and effort in finding them. Perhaps taking a few minutes each day, and compose a brief post about something uplifting will keep the light at the end of the tunnel lit, and in focus. Let me go first: A huge relief for me is to not having to put up with his ways any longer. Everything was routine, repetitive, the same, year in year out. The same kind of food, his daily bottle of wine, the routine at night, the weekends....like groundhog's day. After 8 PM, he did not want to be talked to because he wanted to watch a movie he'd only seen 15 times or so, while having his wine in peace and quiet. Before 8 PM, he did not want to talk because he needed to chill from work. Oh, how I resented those routines, and how he rejected my efforts in tossing them up a little. Now, I come home, cook, eat, sleep, and do whatever I please whenever I please. No more snoring, or having to tolerate him under the influence. My panic and anxiety attacks are completely gone! My son has Asperger's, and I do think so does his dad.
