This day is almost over. My 25th wedding anniversary. I don't even know what to say - all I do right now is feel raw, ugly hurt and pain. My kids and friends and I went out for a nice dinner. I gave them each a bottle of champagne (or sparkling cider:)) and beautiful champagne flute. Hopefully they will be able to celebrate something special in their own lives sometimes soon.
I know I am blessed - I know that I am incredibly lucky to have these amazing people in my life. But the loss of my M and my H has created the most profound heartache I've ever known.
So I now have to move forward and I'm making a couple of resolutions... 1. I vow to begin every day with prayer 2. I vow to be kind to others and especially to myself 3. I vow to stand for my marriage 4. I vow to be a better parent and friend 5. I vow to take better care of myself - health / diet / exercise / mental / financial / spiritual /

You have made a lot of good progress in a short time, God bless you and your family. Do you ever go to the rejoiceministries.com website, lots of great information and tapes. I listen to these tapes almost all of the time in my car. It gives me hope for my m.
I made it through one of the most difficult days of my life. It's over.
Today is about healing - sleep, quiet, prayer, restoration.
I have been through hell.
He can never get these days back. They are gone forever. I do not regret making no contact with him yesterday. I have the card in the box.
I am still standing - but from a different place now. Put my diamonds away and am only wearing my plain gold band. I am standing from a place of service, love, and faith. He can divorce me, ignore me, blame me - but he cannot take this place away from me. It's where I need to be in order to be me - I need to love and serve my family and friends and I need to believe that God has a plan for me.
It's a new day...

Happy Anniversery Irish, &, not to sound corny, but today is the first day of the rest of your life. Besides, who would you rather spend your special dates with. People that care about and listen to you, or someone who lives in their own insular world.
My day is coming up. Can't wait to see what it holds.
I am standing from a place of service, love, and faith. He can divorce me, ignore me, blame me - but he cannot take this place away from me. It's where I need to be in order to be me.
Irish you have just taken another step.
A BIG ONE.
It is sometimes when we have endured the most pain that we find our way.
It pushes us forward.
Good step for YOU.
Keep your faith.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
I was a bit surprised at how hard my anniversary day was. Didn't think it would affect me as much as it did. But then the days afterwards, seemed so much lighter and free. In retrospect it made me wonder why we put so much emphasize on "just a day". Every day is a day for us to grow, learn, enjoy our families, and improve ourselves. Happy Anniversary
