Been going through a divorce. Feeling bummed out. Thinking about doing volunteer work on the weekends. Might do it through habitat for humanity. I've volunteered for other things in the past and the feeling you get from helping others who can't repay you in return is one of the most rewarding. It's great just knowing that you made a difference in someone's life.
I've had my share of failures. Really let down my kids. Me and the wife just couldn't work things out. She wanted me to leave every time the tough got going. A lot of it was my fault. But after being married 8 years and of those 8 years 2+ years were being separated (intermittently) you just gotta realize this isn't going to work and trying to stay for the kids is just gonna do more damage. Regardless I do feel like I failed her and them. I can only look forward. There's no going back. I will always love them and never want to cause them harm. I just have to love them differently and yet the same now. Sometimes that's just how life is. Not everything has to be understood. It's what you do with your life that matters. Do something that gives you purpose and meaning and no matter how bad everything else gets, you can lay your head down and rest with peace at night.
