It takes two to make it work (pt. 6)

[SBJ]

Thanks for the messages Coly, skm, bttrfly, Brubeck, and Kyh...not saying that things are better with her, but I am realizing that I'm not broken. I need to keep growing, but I'm not broken.

Psalm 28:7New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield,
in whom my heart trusts.
I am helped, so my heart rejoices;
with my song I praise him.

I am trying to stay strong for my kids and keeping my house a beacon. I like the lighthouse story, but I'm realizing that God wants to grow in me a spirit of never quitting.

Next month has two events in them regarding my W. One is her birthday and the other is the anniversary of the beginning of her EA...it happens to fall on Easter. I will buy her gifts from the kids for her bday, but I think that I will keep Easter in my heart for it's true meaning and not because of the connection to the EA.

Today I had a memory of the last time she and I had laughed together...we used to keep each other in stitches, but 2016 was simply sad. The laughter is coming back when the kids are home with me and that is a true blessing. They are a true blessing from God. I have them from tonight thru next Friday and that truly makes me happy.

I hope to have our pool ready to go for April 1st...not trying to make people jealous. We sure do enjoy the outdoors her in my part of the country, but without a pool in the summer it is pretty unbearable outside.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
