The Art Of Being Thankful
In times of turmoil it's so hard to find a bright spot; something to be thankful for. While many of us go through our day-to-day lives seeing and wanting what we don't have, Thanksgiving is a day to cherish what we DO have.
Close friends and family of Donny (my husband) and me know what a hard 6 months it's been for our family. Malevolent individuals have done their best to rip us apart. While they have succeeded in injuring the emotional well-being of our children, and have succeeded in manipulating the court system, they have not succeeded in destroying our spirit, our family unit or our faith in God. What's happened has taken an emotional, physical and financial toll on everyone in our family, but has not penetrated our core framework. We are still intact, still love each other, and continue to move forward. For that I am truly blessed this Thanksgiving.
I am blessed with healthy and smart children, a roof over our heads, and family and friends to share and create memories with. I am thankful for parents and grandparents who taught me unconditional love and strong values. Most importantly I am thankful for my husband. We've suffered a series of unfortunate blows over the past 6 months. While we've had our times of overwhelming grief and anger, we know the blessings of apology, acceptance and true love.
Beautiful!
