The Good Just Keeps on Coming!

Wow! So much happens when you let go. I am finally free of the chains of loving someone whom I was always trying to make excuses for and trying to believe in. He made a huge blunder and it was the very last straw. I let him go. He no longer tugs at my heart. There are times I think about him, but it is with incredulity that I never realized before how much I was missing by not letting go of hope that he would prove everyone wrong. In fact, the funny thing is, he proved himself right! He told me he wasn't good enough for me and that I deserved better! Why I didn't listen to him before I'll never understand. I'm not one who gives up easily. But I did. And it has had a domino effect!!

A Navy man I met in 2005 worked in the Palace with me, a truly wonderful man who became a good friend. We have kept in touch and he is back in Iraq this week, so I'm going to get to see him and hopefully have time for coffee and a little catch up talk. He is so cool. I'm so glad our paths will cross again.

I got a new job!! I'll be leaving Iraq November 13th, and I'll be in Bahrain on the 15th to start my new job there on the 17th. I'll live in a nice apartment with maid service, high speed internet and satellite TV, to name a few things. We will be a group of 8 people, and one of them I used to work with here in Iraq, in fact he is the reason I got the job. I'm so excited! And one of the best things is that the manager here in Iraq is wishing me well and assuring me that I am welcome to return to ITT anytime, that everything is good between us, I am leaving on good terms.

I'm starting a new life in every possible way you can start a new life! Everything is brand new. Everything is the way it should be.

I'm very anxious to hear the results of the election tomorrow. Who will be our next president? This is an exciting time. Maybe I should wait to say that after the results are in. So Wednesday I'll update my blog with my feelings about the new president.

Until then....
