I’m starting to see, as the hurt and frustration fades, something will appear that takes me back in time to those difficult days. As my mind processes the problem, and how to best respond, I realize how far I have come in the past three years. Then I’m thankful for the ability to live a life free from fear and trepidation. Looking back, I did not want my marriage to end. But now I see an opportunity to be happy once again.

Thanks Nancy. The road has not been easy (taking care of a cancer patient was a cake walk when compared to family law). Glad I’m out of the tunnel.

By God’s grace, I have made it this far. I just mentioned to a co-worker that I have been given a blank slate to plan this next chapter in my life. Thanks for being one of several readers who have shared encouraging words along this journey! 🙂

That’s great news. 🙂 For now I can picture you and Maggie by that stove, but who knows what’s around the corner?

Just noticed this comment from many months ago, Jo. Not sure how I missed it but now I see. Truth be told, no one knows what the next day may hold. A good reason to be happy in the moment. 🙂
