R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts

“Learning something new has a threefold payoff: it fills post-breakup evenings, puts you in contact with other motivated people, and is just plain good for the soul.” ~ The Rebound Journal – Breaking Up and Bouncing Back with Style

I know that at the beginning of your divorce recovery, much of your time is spent obsessing about him, about your failures, about his failures, about how you could have done something different, about the other woman, about how much you wish this hadn’t happened and on and on and on and on. Stop that! If your divorce is inevitable or final (or even if it isn’t either of those two things) even if it’s in process, get your mind on something else. The quote above is taken from a section called “Class it up” as in taking a class …. Signing up for a class. Think about something that has always interested you. Find a class to take. Find a junior college in your location or a college or a community center or a library that offers classes then SIGN UP! There are so many interesting things to learn …if you can imagine it, you can find a class about it. My daughter, a high school English teacher, is taking a class at her church about Dante’s Inferno from an expert who has taught this material at different places for eleven years. She called the other night just overflowing with excitement about this class! (You have to be a literary buff to appreciate that!) But get out there and learn something new. As the Rebound Journal says, it’s good for you for all sorts of reasons. And don’t forget the knowledge that God grants either. A treasure.

“For the Lord grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. He grants good sense to the godly …” Proverbs 2:6
