Although I confess yesterday and today that happiness seems to be eluding me. I guess I could look back and "regret" wrong decisions I made or "regret" the times I turned left instead of right, but what would be the point in that? The past is past, I prefer to leave it there, learn from my myriad of mistakes and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rarely rains in the desert! But I also am affected by changes in the weather. I guess maybe we all are. Lack of sunshine, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope! Am I happy? Actually, yes! I feel better emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally than what I have in ages. I know that God is on my side through this whole thing and that in due time, if it is His will, He will bring someone else into my life who will love and respect me and the boys! Marnie, you can have some of our rain! My back yard has so many flooded spots it's not even funny! Now all the moisture has set up and we have fog!

My husband and I were able to travel a lot out of the country only to fine out we needed to see our own home. It is important to become grounded where we live and work. It is neat to find all the small places we had overlooked before.

I finally get to take a deep breath and relax a couple of times a day. I am even considering at 46 years old going back to school like I have always wanted to. Tell me I'm not to old!!!!! I like where I am at right now. This past year was pretty rough financially, and with my husband dealing with his pain as he tries to get over his accident. We still haven't gotten to the top of the mountains we have been struggling up so long, but I believe it won't be long now that with God's continued grace we will be able to stand on the peak. Then all of Gods plans will all be perfectly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My life is not perfect, the people around me are not perfect, I'm surely not perfect, but if God asked me to change anything about my life, it would only be to be able to please Him, to bring glory to Him in all that I do. I can say this from a pure heart and before God. I learned long ago that happiness does not come from things, or people, from experiences of this world or all the credits behind your professional name. It comes God, from being at peace with yourself, living in your own skin, in the circumstances and place you're at right now, with this deep and secure knowlege that God is in control. Yes, I'm very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
