Energy spent

Well life takes us places we never thought we would go.

Here I am now stating "I am a single mom!" I must apologize because I always used to equate that word with alot of negative thoughts and now I find myself being taught of the Lord how his Grace is sufficient to get anyone through this and even grow one through it. Don't get me wrong, marriage breakdown is a result of sin in this world and this road sucks!!!!!

Bill and I are working the specifics out in little bits and I am so glad that today we are on fairly good terms with each other. Did you catch the "today" we are on good terms because it changes as we face different stages.

Tomorrow night Anisten and I will be going to a "Just me and the kids" program at a nearby church. The program is designed to teach parents how to help their kids through this time and they also have a separate time for the kids to learn and share their feelings. The night starts out with diner, Bonus!

I had a friend give me a word that this will be a time of growth and learning to spread my wings. I agree that If I am open to learning and changing that this is what will happen, and if I am not then I will become a bitter and stunted old woman.

Life is too short to waste energy on being bitter,
spend the energy wisely and it will light your way to a bright future!
