Tiger Woods is adjusting to his divorce and wrote an essay in The Washington Post about how he’s coping. It was almost a year ago exactly when Tiger‘s now ex-wife Elin Nordegren discovered that he was having an affair with Rachel Uchitel.

Later we would learn about how he traipsed about with dozens of women, not just Rachel, and Elin would soon file for divorce. So how is Tiger getting along these days?

“I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way–as if detached from the values my upbringing had taught, and that I should have embraced. Slowly, I’m regaining the balance that I’d lost. My healing process is far from complete, but I am beginning to appreciate things I had overlooked before. I’m learning that some victories can mean smiles, not trophies, and that life’s most ordinary events can bring joy. Giving my son, Charlie, a bath, for example, beats chipping another bucket of balls. Making mac and cheese for him and his sister, Sam, is better than dining in any restaurant. Sharing a laugh watching cartoons or reading a book beats channel-surfing alone. Some nights now, it’s just me and the kids, an experience that’s both trying and rewarding. Probably like the experience a lot of families have every evening around the world.”

What do you think? Is Tiger truly gaining perspective or is he just pretending?
