It's easier to get married than it is divorced....(more fun too ) ! People often refer to the initial part of a relationship as the "honeymoon" period...that time when you look into each other's eyelashes....giggle now and then, holding hands....goose bumps, heart thumping...planning the wedding...the honeymoon, the home you share...the celebration of a new beginning in life.
New beginnings....there are many throughout our lives and careers...some expected, planned and welcomed...
- The wedding - The new baby - The graduation - The new career -The new house
Other changes are not as welcome...don't feel as comfortable...because for one reason or another, the decision to make the change was beyond our control....or what we chose to control....
- The divorce - Serious Illness - Death of a loved one - Job Loss - Job Transfer
A while ago one of our short sale sellers found herself faced with a divorce she did not want from a spouse she still loved. She said when she got over the initial shock of his leaving the house, she went to church and sat quietly and thought and thought. Her decision she said wisely, was she was going to be Better not Bitter. Sometimes there is not a choice when it comes to the "hand you are dealt"....there is always a choice in how you react to it.

Good morning Sally and David,
I like that "Better not Bitter!" It's a choice we have and hopefully the one we make when faced with an unpleasnt development in our life.
I like the end "there is always a choice about how you react".
Choosing better not bitter is positive approach that turns the lemons into lemonade...choosing to be up ...facing adversity with a positive outlook.
My marketing guru likes to say that if you are dealt a bad hand, learn how to bluff. I guess that's why we don't play games together. LOL
oh surprise...good advice from we know who....we aren't good poker players either....
