In regard to the marital property settlement I have recently passed through some major hurdles and have almost got the whole settlement across the line. The feeling I have is that I have been lost and alone in this thick dark gloomy impenetrable forest which I have spent three years trying to hack through, seemingly getting nowhere. Then I decided to go a different route, trudging uphill through an area of dense brambles, enduring much pain and suffering to go that way, but by that route I have slowly been edging forward. At last I have come to a clearing. Even though there is still a little way to go, I can at least now see the path ahead. The way to go is easy walking for me now and, just a little bit further down at the end of the road, I can see some light.
I am almost there.

Spring into Summer 
I am sure you will get there.
Thanks for your confidence in me. I really appreciate it.
I applaud you!
Thanks.
All the best to you and yours for 2015.
“Almost there” is a hopeful refrain! I’m glad that you’re almost there. ❤
Yes, I am truly almost there…
I just am not blogging about it at the moment (as there is so much happening) but I will do when it is done.
I’m looking forward to reading…
Wishing you tranquility in 2015. ❤
Tranquility is definitely something in my dreams 🙂
I’m so happy for you Elizabeth, what a great photo to illustrate this post! ❤

Thanks. Yes, the photo works well. It actually took me longer to find the photo than to write the post.
You have to slog your way uphill, hacking through the brambles, ignoring the scratches and getting tougher all the time if you are to get anywhere. Otherwise, you will just go round and round in circles in the gloom: there is no easy way out. So glad you can see the glimmer of light. Press on, Elizabeth. xx
That was a well-written metaphor…. and so true.
Yes, I will just keep hacking away.
Thanks for your support.
Ah, the sweet relief you will feel, when this is finally behind you! ❤
Ah yes, the relief of being ‘almost there’ is huge and so there will be a great party (or maybe as I am an introvert, some simple quiet time) when it is actually there.
Thanks for your support.
That light is like the nectar of the gods when you get to it. I am so glad your journey is moving you out of the dark.
Not quite there yet, but the light is getting brighter every day, the closer I get. Thanks for your support.
Yeah! Deep breathing and having a machete handy will get you on your path 🙂
Yes, the machete has come in handy (and the deep breathing). Thanks for your support.
Yeah, cheering you toward the finish line, Elizabeth!!
I am getting closer and closer.
Thanks for your support.
I always like when someone uses symbolism which helps me relate so much more to your emotional state of being, Elizabeth. Hurray!! I am so glad there is light at the end of the tunnel, that you have ‘thrashed it out,’ and hopefully nearing a settlement. Just in time to celebrate the holidays. Hugs and Merry Christmas, Elizabeth to you and your children and daughter in law, too.
Yes, the symbolism definitely helps me keep going at times. If I can think of myself trudging along a path but the end is in sight, then I can keep going. Thanks for your support and all the best for 2015.
Oh, so much better than the way some people think, Elizabeth. It will be worth the weight off your shoulders when the settlement is agreed upon, hopefully in many ways your choices and in your favor, too. Hugs, Robin
Yeah! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re almost there. I really like the photo you selected to illustrate this post.
The photo took nearly as much time for me to find as the writing of the post. Glad that you liked it. Thank you for your support and Happy New Year to you.
Finally… a light at the end of the tunnel. Bravo for having the courage to try a new approach, no matter how painful. As they say ‘insanity is repeating the same action, expecting a different result each time’. Good luck & BIG HUGS!
Acceptance of the pain to get out of the mess was the hardest step to take and it is finally paying off. Thanks for your kind words.
Happy New Year for 2015.

Elizabeth, you are brave and courageous. I know this because a dear friend of mine has been “trudging uphill,” and she’s grown so much. I’m sure that your friends see that in you too.
Blessings as you journey toward Light ~ Wendy ❀
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, there has been growth within me in this trudging process… the silver lining.
