I think, because my car accident settlement and our divorce paperwork are both unfinished, in some ways I am living in the negative out of necessity -- I need to itemize how being hit by a car has affected my life so that the jury has the full picture and we need to be thinking about lots of worst-case scenario what-ifs with regard to the divorce and the future so that we can cover those bases now and make the best possible future for the two of us and for our daughter.
But I am getting closer to leaving both situations, closer to figuring out next steps, closer to getting out of crisis mode. In the meantime I can still be aware of the goodness of life and choose to keep smiling, hoping, living and laughing. I need to be with positive, forward-looking, kind people. I need to be a positive, forward-looking, kind person. After all, as my lawyer said of me in his letter to the insurance company,
Based on her life expectancy as set forth in the Colorado Statutes she will likely live another 44 years.
I'm willing to consider that the good news of the day. :)
Tomorrow I will be able to spend some time with my daughter, her good friend, and her friend's lovely family. I will be glad, grateful, and content. I will be okay. And so will you.
