Suburban Goddess

I’ve learned to stop asking the question, “What else can go wrong?” because it seems lately that I keep getting an answer. So instead, I’m trying to focus on the good things in my life, appreciate the things I have, and let God take care of the rest.

The past two years have been the hardest of my life… even when I was going through my first divorce, I don’t remember struggling quite so much. Perhaps that’s because I stayed in an alcohol-fueled coma for six months, and I didn’t have to worry about the repercussions of my actions on my child. This time, I wasn’t able to bury my sorrows in a bottle. I was forced to hit reality with my eyes wide open and completely vulnerable to ever blow that came my way. And while it’s been a very long, and very hard road, I know it’s made me a much stronger person. I’d like to think I’ve finally grown up, and there are many of those in the world who thought they would never see the day.

To be honest, I didn’t either.

“One day at a time” takes on a whole new meaning now. With each passing moment, I’m becoming more aware of all the wonderful people in my life. I want to tell them all “thank you,” for your support, your thoughts, your prayers, and your love.
