As I sit here comfy in my bed next to my little Miss K I can't imagine a better way to start out my weekend. She reminds me if how innocent she is, how she doesn't care about anything in the world other than sharing her cinnamon toast crunch with our Boston Terrier.
This is our weekend tradition - dry cereal, cartoons, and snuggles.
Getting divorced has brought perspective to certain things. Things almost seem more difficult now than when we were a family of three. I could just deal with the issues and take care of K. But when other obstacles come in the way, there really isn't another choice.
There are so many days that I'm lonely and miss having a partner to help me out. I miss having true adult conversations and not just about daycare or what Christmas gifts K needs.
I truly get that life is complicated but it's only ad complicated as you allow it. I may not truly believe that you have complete control over your destiny, but you do have control over some of your happiness.
I have this fantastic chalk board with a barnwood frame in my kitchen. I make it a goal to write a new quote or inspiring words each day. It's something small but lifts my spirits to acknowledge that life will get better eventually.... It just takes time. So, my quote, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME."
Stay strong and enjoy the view!
