I wanted to stop thinking about who I had become upon divorce -- a single woman -- and focus on my surroundings. I wanted my home to change from our home to my home.

Why not use this time of new beginnings to resolve to flip the anger switch to "off" and to get on with your own life; to stop giving the ex the satisfaction of knowing you can still be turned inside out by the same ol', same 'ol routines?

I took the kids to look at houses not because we're tired of the cows or the snakes or the spooked polo ponies that occasionally run up onto our front porch, do a few laps, and dart back off in the direction of whatever spooked them in the first place, but because the three of us miss people.
