I am THANKFUL

It's my first Thanksgiving "alone". But thankfully, I'm not really alone. :) I am surrounded by my four beautiful, amazing, smart, funny and healthy children who are really, really happy now. I have parents who have supported me my entire life and continue to support me in many ways as I begin my new life. And I have some really amazing friends who support me, tell me the truth and stand by my side...always. I'm not "alone."

I am thankful that I found the strength to make some hard decisions in my life. It was, by far, the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I know that I will continue to have challenges and hardships along the way, but what I have learned is that...I WILL BE OKAY. I'll make it.

I am thankful to have a job doing something I am truly passionate about - doing what I've always dreamed of doing. I work for great people and with a group of talented guys who live and breathe the same passion I do and the best part - they teach me good stuff. I get to train some really wonderful clients. And even better, I have a perfect schedule that allows me to be home when my kids get home in the afternoon, making me feel like I AM a good mother. This has made my kids so happy.

I can't even begin to describe the content and gratitude I feel right now. Sometimes I will start thinking to myself: "wow, it's really starting to fall into place." And then I realize, I made this happen. I didn't just sit back waiting and hoping for my life to change, I went out and made it change. And from where I sit right now, all I can say is...MORE PLEASE!!!! We are headed in the right direction, let's keep on going!
