BLOG IS DEAD!!!

I’m not going to make a Josiah’s 5th birthday resolution to update more often…just felt like typing…

A lot has gone on in the past few months…most of it worth forgetting and moving past.

Needless to say, I am now a single dad back on the scene and it feels so good to be able to breathe again.  God knows I tried to make my marriage work…5.5 years of trying…and now the trial is over and I can confidently say that I passed it…I must confess that I probably didn’t get an “A”, but passing is still enough!  I am glad that it is over and after just a few weeks of being unmarried, I can already feel myself starting to recover from the whole ordeal.

So, starting over, fresh…

I’m just so thankful that I have my son in my care…this alone gives me so much peace of mind.  He is one of the greatest joys of my life and so awesome in every way.  He reminds me of myself on a daily basis, and that’s not to brag on me, it just makes it that much easier to relate to him.  Today he is 5-years-old and thriving.

I am also so thankful for all of the help from my parents during this time of transition…they have let me have my space (for the most part, LOL) which, I think, has helped to expedite the healing process.

As for my X, I will just say that I don’t miss her at all…I realized this a week after she left me.  She is busy off doing her own thing now, and more power to her…I just don’t want to hear about it…AGAIN…EVER…

A few friends have asked me if I would consider reconciliation with her…to which I emphatically respond HELL NO!  I made that mistake once…and now that it has been remedied, I will not go back…I learned my lesson the first time.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate her (as much…God help me) and I don’t want her burning in hell…I’m just done making excuses for her behavior and want nothing to do with her anymore.  I do hope for her sake that she gets her shit together and goes on to lead a full and happy life…

Another thing that I am grateful for is that all of this has rekindled my passion for music…I’ve been listening to everything I can get my hands on and I’ve been playing my guitar like crazy and writing quite a bit of music and lyrics…I will probably not post anything until I have something recorded though.

That just about catches everyone up…you haven’t really missed much…

Until next time, this is Marty Stoufer for “Wild America”
