As we all start to get ready for the holiday season, I wanted to share some things that I am thankful for.
Finding MB. This has been instrumental in my personal recovery and aiding my plan for my future. My marriage will not recover, but I will not only recover but I will thrive.
My support system, in real life and my friends here at MB. Without everyone's help, guidance, and prayers, I could not have progressed on my path as I have.
My children. They are my biggest blessing in life. They give me strength to be a better parent. I feel so honored to be their mom.
I am employed.
I have my health.
Finding my faith.
There are many more things that I am greatful for.
What are you thankful for?

I am most thankful this year to have friends who completely disagree with me on politics and religion but are not total nutters about it, and that I have friends outside of my demographic who do not consider me to be more or less than them just because we're different.
My husband and I agree politically, but we do differ (a little) theologically, and I am thankful that we have found a church that meets each of our needs without harming the other. I am thankful such a place exists.
But yeah, mostly this season I am thankful to know people who can engage in intelligent debate about differing opinions without resorting to the disgusting name-calling.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
