Since it is my birthday, today is going to be a challenge for me. The sadness that my h always gave me a dozen roses and I don't think he would even give me a dandelion this year! I always received cards from his family. Of course, no cards from any of them this year. They believe everything h has spewed about me. Even his aunt, who is a Christian. Of course, I always thought she was the kind that was too holy to be any earthly good.....you know, the unrealistic kind of person. Yes, it does surprise me that she hasn't sent a card, but I guess just like the Bible says, in the last even the very elect will be deceived!
So, today I am determined to have a good day and do whatever I want to do! I don't have to walk on eggshells, be concerned about what he wants to do or what mood he is in, etc. So, even though it's sad that I won't hear from h, it's freeing at the same time. My daughter said she has plans for me tonight, so I'm sure I'll have a good time. I just need to keep telling myself to keep on swimming, keep on swimming!
