Well as the holiday season is upon us again. I know some of you aren't in the mood to celebrate, I know I am having trouble. But just remember this one thing, that no matter how bad it is for some of us, God has been kind and mericiful. We have all been given the opppertunity to make a change, to make a difference, and to move forward. Even if we only take a half a step a day, that is movement forward.

We can't change the past, we can only learn from our mistakes and take the actions of others and turn them too our advantage. There isn't anything easy about living life. The hurts are often, the rewards are many and the lessons are never ending. We just have to be willing to learn from what is around us. From the circumstance we are in now, and from the life experiences of others.

Death is the only thing that should keep us from learning and growing. And since most of us are still breathing, we have the oppertunity to make the change. Prayerfully for the better, and hopefully without regret, remorse or revenge. But if any of those things are needed to help you take your steps forward into healing, by all means use them.

But in this time of reflection and holiness, I wish you each a peace that your soul has never felt before. A healing that only God's love and redemptive power can bring. Restoration to be better than before. Love for yourself and your fellow man. Forgiveness for yourself and for others, because in the end it benefits you more than it does them. And my sincere thanks and gratitude to those who have been so supportive and instrumental in my own healing process.

God bless each and everyone of you. And to those of you that feel like what you did to destroy others and it was justified, may God have mercy on you and you find your way before it is too late.

Wishing everyone a blessed holiday season. I know it's a tough one for many of us....it's the last one that I will have with my entire family. Next year, no husband, we'll be splitting time with the kids and it's something that I really don't want to think about.

Thank you Bree for the words of wisdom and courage. I know that I can get through this time of year by knowing that I have learned from my experience this year and that the future can only get better.....I have to believe that it will get better! A year ago, I would have gotten very angry at anyone who would have told me that I would have been in this position today. I have been humbled by my experience and I have found comfort and direction with people here - thank you for your help, for kicking my a*s when I needed an ass whooping, and for helping me find peace withiin myself when the guilt ate at me so profoundly.

Many blessing to all.
