"I didn&amp;#039;t blog much about Maria Shriver&amp;#039;s divorce, when it all first came out. Honestly, whenever I get on the subject of a philandering man, I could go all day and it wouldn&amp;#039;t be pretty. I&amp;#039;m sure Maria could have sat down with Barbara Walters or Oprah or her pick of any news show and vented her spleen to the masses, but she chose not to go that route. And for that, she&amp;#039;s one of my heroes. Finally, a celebrity who cares more about the impact on her kids than her personal publicity. How refreshing! And to give Arnold and his paramour their props, too (begrudgingly), they&amp;#039;ve kept their lips zipped and remained out of the spotlight as much as possible. Anyway, I got to thinking about Maria Shriver when I read this article, with some great pointers (based on her behavior) for getting through a divorce with your head held high and your mouth sealed shut. It was definitely not the easiest course (believe me, I know\u2026), but her kids will thank her for it someday and are most likely pretty grateful for it right now. My kids have no idea how much of my pride I&amp;#039;ve swallowed in this process, and that&amp;#039;s just fine with me. Let them think this was smooth and uncomplicated. Let them talk someday about their parent&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;amicable&amp;quot; divorce like it was no big deal, in hindsight. Taking the high road can be a lonely and painful journey sometimes, but there&amp;#039;s no doubt it&amp;#039;ll get you where you need to go sooner, and without as much of a bumpy ride. Did you find it hard to keep quiet, if your ex wronged you? What are your tricks for keeping the peace? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
