But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. Alan Cohen Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:55:07 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1328054 Things change in life and some not always for the better.  The curve balls we are thrown sometimes just hit us right in the face.  Today it hit me.  I need to take some time now to readjust my life to the new parameters and have to face reality.  It hurts but the not knowing was ... Sun, 05 Oct 2008 08:40:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1327441 OMG! Saw this on a post in Breakups and Divorce and had to copy it to my journal, so I don't forget! " NEVER ALLOW SOMEONE TO BE YOUR PRIORITY WHILE ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE THEIR OPTION.  Truer words were never spoken! Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:52:47 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1314248 Hey, There are times that I wish one could turn off their brain, but we can't.  I am much better than I was a couple of days ago, thanks to a lot of prayers and many good friends!  It amazes me how a person can go from feeling that all is right in their world to believing that the...

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:09:21 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1312580 Hey, Okay, today is a new day!  Still feeling like I don't know where to go or what to do right now but as Bruce put it in my last journal, just PUSH.  So I will.  Putting my faith back in God and trusting that he will look after me.  He always has so I don't really ... Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:30:52 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1311044 Hi, I remember when I was working on my marriage, laying in the bathtub, tears streaming down my face, the stbx there and telling him that I just wanted someone to love me.  Well, that hasn't changed.  I want someone special in my life that loves me for who I am and that... Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:53:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1308516 I wish I could understand why it is that the stbx has to go from one extreme to the other.  For the past few months every time he speaks or texts me he has been hostile, cruel and rude.  Now that he must have gotten some money, he is acting like he cares and is actually being kind.  I... Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:21:29 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1296685 I would have thought that after over a year of going through this divorce things would have settled down emotionally a bit.  Unfortunately, I seem to be going through a depression that I can't pull myself out of.  Things would be okay if I could just get the child support that I am ent...

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 16:52:34 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1246691 Hey! Well, the stbx finally got in touch with the kids!  He hasn't spoken to them since he dropped them off on July 22.  I realize that I can't change him, but it upsets me that he chooses to hurt the kids like this.  After they spoke to him, I asked the older two how the... Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:09:51 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1244814 Well, the kids start school this morning!  I am so glad that we can finally get back into some sort of routine.  I did get them back into regular sleeping patterns since visiting their father which took the whole two weeks, but I did it!  They are much nicer kids if they get their sle... Thu, 14 Aug 2008 05:32:31 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1241131 Life is about choice.  I need to take this and post in somewhere prominent in my home.  As we move along in life we often get complaisent and forget to appreciate the things that make our life so special.  Last night I sat down and played a game with my boys.  I let those things ... Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:29:37 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1235161 Aaarrgghhh!  I fight this blah feeling and I fight and I fight and I do okay for a bit and then fall back into the doldrums.  I know it isn't just me because those at work are the same.  It has to be the weather or the moon.  That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking t... Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:56:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1234035 Today is a day to crawl back into bed, pull the covers over my head and pretend I am invisible!   LIFE!!!!! Fri, 08 Aug 2008 06:55:08 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1233938 Good morning, Another early one for me.  My parents left to go back home this morning and I have mixed feelings about that.  Part of me will be glad to have the house back to myself but I will miss their company.  The kids and I need to get back to normal though.  I hav... Fri, 08 Aug 2008 04:35:45 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/50703/journal/1228564 Good morning, I have been feeling down lately so I decided this morning to go back through some of my old posts from about a year ago to see if I have made any progress.  What they did do is confirm for me that this journey called life, has hills and valleys, sunshine and rain, no matter w...
