I received a call last night from him.  I asked how things were going and he said he sometimes just wants to pack up and come back...  I told him that would not work...  He still doesn't get it that I am through.  He made a few comments during the conversation like, don't lie to me and why do I sound disgusted when I answer the phone when it is him.  I hope this doesn't continue through the whole year that I am waiting to get the divorce.  I am moving on, no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, I was on line reading quotes and came across the ones I guess were meant for me at that moment in time:

Language has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone, and the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.--Paul Johannes Tillich

Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.--Indra Devi

Solitude can be frightening because it invites us to meet a stranger we think we may not want to know--ourselves.--Melvyn Kinder

Solitude is not a way of running away from life ... from our feelings. On the contrary. This is the time we sort them out, air them, get over them, and go on without the burden of yesterday.--Joan Chittister



When I woke up this morning, the first thing I thought of was "glorious solitude"!  That is what I am aiming for now!  I have never even know there was such a thing.  All my life I only knew of loneliness.
So happy to have this time in my life to find my glorious solitude!  AMEN!!
