Even though I don't really use LJ to chronicle my life or keep up with most people these days (though there are a few exceptions), I figured that since the last 11 years of my life figured in here in some way or another, it was worth noting that after nearly 11 years, Jennifer and I are going our separate ways.

It is exactly the right thing but that doesn't make it an easy thing. Sometimes life is like that.

I've spent much of the last 6 months focusing inward, working on self-care, meeting my own needs and putting out my own fires, and taking care of my body. It needed to happen. I really was letting myself go far more than anyone should, far more than I'd even realized.

This is a time of immense transition for our little family, and I know I speak for all of us when I say that we appreciate all good thoughts and positive energy.
