Since my diaster this morning at coffee - I have been reflecting on where I want to be in a year. I will be single, I will be Mom, I will still be me. A different version of me but maybe a new and improved me - thst is what I am working towards.
I am reactivating my gratitude journal. And today's gratitude was the beautiful California weather. For those of us lucky enough to experience this, just wow.
I am going to Hawaii with my family and two kids for a few weeks in summer. How is that for gratitude? I am so thankful that I have a family. that brings me to a question - how does one refer to former family? After a divorce does one still refer to the family as family or not? I am sure that there are pros and cons each way but just because you are divorced does that mean you are no longer family? Or does D destroy a family and now there are two families where there just used to be one. I will have to think about that one. Maybe it evolves over time but for now I consider us to be two families.
