Life seems to change with the seasons....

I'm sure many of you are wondering if I fell off the face of the earth as much as I may have wanted to in the near past i'm still trying to adjust to the changes in my life>
My husband of 9 years left me for what i thought to be my "best friend". I am truly heartbroken and will be recovering for a long time from this as I had no idea anything was wrong. I have no regrets because I let him know everyday that I loved him more then anything and that I appreciated him. I would have walked through fire for him. But now I have to relearn to be on my own. I guess its the companionship I miss most, knowing he was there for me and i trusted him fully. Right now I'm working on becoming stronger and totally independent. I wonder if it really is better to have loved and lost then to have loved at all as I feel so used and foolish. Never take people for granted and never believe anything is forever because it is not. With my faith in God and my true friends I'm doing much better but some days are harder then others, i know this will get better with time as time heals all wounds. Thank you to those of you who have been by my side, I love you all! I have some blank canvas's waiting for me to create and hopefully soon i can get back to my art and heal more.
