In The Beginning

I have never been much of a journal writer. Oh, I tried and on occasion I have whipped out the journal, which is quite a nice one BTW, but it simply takes too long to write in a journal with pen and paper. I just need some medium to express my thoughts a bit quicker. So, the idea here is to take a journey through my divorced life. I have been separated from my wife for about 6 months. Yes, the divorced papers have been submitted but I suspect that it will be at least another month before it will be complete and I will be dirt poor. I am not terribly rich right now, but I keep thinking "half"; half of what I earn, half of my retirement, half of any assets, etc.

I suspect that I am not the only divorced guy who decided to blog. This is somewhat of a personal journey and at the end of it all and someday I hope to share what is written here with my posterity and if I am terribly brave with my future companion. We will see. It is by far quicker writing here than in a journal somewhere...and maybe someone else will benefit.

I am not much of a writer, so the whole concept of writing is somewhat new to me. Yes, we all have fears of one kind or another and in some ways posting my life is a way to overcome that fear.
