[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 642670, member: 18284"] RE -- First, thank you, as always, for your candor, open heart and insightful words. :) And congrats on "accepting and moving on" (which I already knew from your posts), your recent marriage (Which I did not know! Wonderful!), your recent move (Exciting!), and your work/salary increases (Way to go!). The "vacuum".......... Well, that's as eloquent a description of that transitional period as I've ever heard. That word of such emptiness does fill the sentiment well. Hmmmm..... So much DISorientation amid the change/opportunity for REorientation. Feeling DISoriented is a pretty odd sensation. Exhilarating and kinda terrifying all in the same breath. And I don't know about you, but, for me, it can sometimes be exhausting trying to ride the wave of transition. Just an extra workout finding our footing in new territory, ya know? What a terrific and clarifying nugget! Thank you for, once again, sharing something so powerful! I know you heard it in a 12-Step Program.........but I heard it from you! :D I see you posted this Saturday. Can you share how your Hallway Experience has been in timeframes? Do you wait in the hallway long before opening doors? Do you examine each door carefully before opening, or do you tend to open doors spontaneously and just see what works best for you? If it works........great! If not, just head back into the hallway and try another door? This hallway analogy fascinates me.... Will consider my own answers around my own "Hallway Experiences". Interesting.... I just read others' posts, above, about their take on the "emptiness" in the hallway and the "doors opening". Does the door open for us or do we open the door? Or both? Or, the one I really liked up there was the "revolving door" image. Now that's a visual I think we can all relate to! RE --- Thanks, again, for sharing so candidly. Honestly, I don't think I've had a single interaction on this site that hasn't inspired and opened a new window of understanding. Even in your "emptiness" you are full of insight! <3 [/QUOTE]
