Thankful Reflections
I write this note on the one year anniversary of filing divorce from a marriage that I thought would last a lifetime. But I can’t help but feel like I’m exactly where I need to be. It made sense as soon as the court stamped those papers and I moved forward with an optimistic hope for what was to come. In this past year I’ve found so much peace. Peace in my heart, peace of mind, and peace in living. In every way I’m constantly evolving into the woman I’ve always hoped to be. In light of what feels like a failure, a failed marriage and relationship, I’m always optimistic that God has something or someone better in store for me.
Although this is not to say that I don’t get discouraged along the way. There are doubts that I should be somewhere different than here. Either still happily married, starting my little family or successfully climbing my career pole. But then I look around and see all that I have, where I could’ve been, and honestly, I’m just thankful to be. To be a homeowner, to be in my industry, and to be loved and surrounded by my family and friends. So with that, I wouldn’t trade these moments, the good and the bad, for anything.
So never forget all that you HAVE when you lose everything you thought you HAD.
With love, AW
