Yes, I did shamelessly borrow my title from Bob Seger. In my defense, he really does rock and I think my stress level allows for low creativity levels. They are connected, believe it or not.

Stress...did someone say stress? Oh yes, my friend, that is where I have been living the last few weeks. Packing, driving a moving truck across 2 states, leaving my job - I can't believe I've done it, but I have. This is my last blog from Pennsylvania. When I started this blog it was to save my sanity. I only knew that I had to hang on because I had survived that marriage for a reason. God had a purpose in my life even if I had no idea what it was.

Now, here I am writing about moving on....really moving on, not merely saying it. No more baby steps. I'm scared to death but so incredibly excited. What could be better than being able to look toward the future and knowing without a doubt that it's going to be wonderful?

Tonight, I have nothing profound to share. No words of wisdom. I wanted to share my joy and hope that it encourages you that there is hope. That's not just a random word that only applies to other people. No matter how bad things are right now, they will get better. I won't lie - it's hard to get there. The struggle is not for the weak, but you're stronger than you know. Don't give up. Keep taking those baby steps. As long as you're going in the right direction, you'll get there eventually and it will get easier. I promise. It's not just words. I'm the proof that it really does happen.

Tomorrow, I will pick up the love of my life, leave the life I've built over the last three years, and we will start a whole new chapter in our lives. Can't wait to see what we'll write on that new page.
