When I came to this board I tried to think of some way to describe myself besides heartbroken, messed up, etc. I remembered a conversation with my h when we were talking about saying our vows and the covenant we had together with God. My h said he was ok with breaking that covenant. (which I know he isn't) Since the consequence of a broken covenant according to the Bible is death I told him I intended to be a covenant keeper. Hence, covenantkeeper seemed like the perfect name for myself here.
My screen name comes from the Barry Manilow song. Seems that whenever something really positive is about to happen in my life, some radio station will be playing that song. Hasn't happened too many times in my life but the lyrics help me to remember that no matter how bad things get in life (something that everyone on Michele's boards can attest to), you can choose to work and make something positive for yourself out of it. The road may not be easy and you may have some setbacks, but the journey is worth the effort.

As I was coming here I knew that I had a very diificult thing ahead of me so I wanted to use something that would remind me of courage. True Grit is obvious reference to the John Wayne movie but more to the meaning of having to reach deep down within myself to find my true courage-grit.
Well Truegrit was taken so I changed it to Truegritter.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
