It took a few years for the darkness in the tunnel (of my marriage) to really begin to affect me. When I got separated, that's when I could "see the light at the end of tunnel"... and later when I got divorced it was as if the world opened up to me. Others remarked at the time that they had *never* seen me laugh before, but I was simply beaming with the enjoyment of life after; ahhh... good times.
No, I'm not feeling that good... but a kid just rang my doorbell with an offer to shovel the snow off my walk! Oh... joy! Can you feel the excitement? For a whopping $5 he did what this old man couldn't seem to do last saturday without wrenching his back out of alignment. Sure he didn't do the whole walk, and he did leave a whole bunch of ice behind (man I need some salt!) - but hey, I'm trying to be a glass is half-full kinda guy right now.
I think I can see that light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it's not a train ready to run me down.
