Hi All:
My signature says 14 April as the date of my divorce, but officially, it is today, 2 April. It is just that I did not open the decree until 14 April. So this is another kind of anniversary which many of us here have to face.
Main lessons I have learned:
You cannot change the heart of another person; the harder you push, the further they are pushed away
You should listen carefully to advice, but be very careful before you follow it
Adultery is the worst thing a man can do to a woman
Divorce is the worst thing a woman can do to a man
I am not alone, but it is also ok to be alone
There are consequences to my actions
A lonely person seeking another person will still be lonely with that person
Time is the devil, but also the healer
Crying is free; not crying is very costly
Pray alot
******
These are the ones that come to mind. Others will come to mind later.
Wishing all a nice weekend.

Great list!
We cannot change another person, we can only change ourselves!

"There are many ways to skin a cat" Kept hearing that all last week and realized that God has many ways of accomplishing things.....ways we would never suspect or fully understand.
