29 years ago today I got married
9 years ago today my divorce was finalised...
Today, I feel that life is the most settled it has been for probably 15 + years.
It's just I keep looking over my shoulder for a tidal wave to come
Today, at this instant, I feel happy.
About right then, as it could well be 7 years, thinking about it!
My children are so happy for me too, although I'm emphasising here and now, and not looking further than today 
I still don't bargain on being storm free though. I don't have that much faith.
Oh sparklinglime, it is lovely to hear that the children are happy for you, all must feel very well in your world.
Life is never storm free, but it is how we weather the storm that counts and I think you have enough experience to cope
Agree, life is never storm-free but there is something about knowing you can take things in your stride and feeling reasonably at peace and secure within yourself.
Thanks for the post, sparkling, it will give hope to those who are still struggling.
Dear sparklinglime, wow a big day yesterday? I hope you did something special, because you sound as though you were in a really good place.
I love your post, focussing on the present, that is all we can do to keep positive.
Apparently the average time for a parent to remain single is 7 years, I was surprised to find that out, not even sure where I heard it, but it made me feel good!
I get that feeling that all of this is about to come crashing down, you never know what is around the corner, but I think if you have done the groundwork on yourself and your life is under your control, you can start to relax a bit and know that the storm is over
