Today I am thinking about being grateful and content with what is. I am divorced from my children’s father. Going through a divorce is hard on families. Traditions are changed and it takes a while to figure out a new “normal”. Sometimes everyone just needs a little space away. We all walk on egg shells for a few years and then finally after much prayer things come together and it feels okay again.
I just moved to God’s Country in October, and most days it feels like home now. Two of my three mostly grown sons (26, 23 and 19) were able to join us for Thanksgiving. It was an introduction to this home for the 19 year old and it was important to me that he feels comfortable here, that he has a space of his own in this house. The 26 year old went to his girlfriends family celebration.
K (my partner in all things) also has two children that are young adults. It feels right to start to blend our families a bit more now. We have been slow to do this, and that’s okay.
We will tend to the new garden that is our life together in this home, and I am thankful for the memories being made.
Enjoy the process, -P
