Ah, yes, the weather is changing. It's cold and dreary here, raining too. A great day to be inside with the crock pot cooking, candles burning, and old movies on TV. In my normal life, I would be at work, but I have been given this gift of pain that has forced me inside.
My little apartment is humble, but my home is happy! When married, I had a beautiful, big home, full of furniture, nice appliances, and nice cars in the garage. But I was terribly unhappy, and terribly alone. I am so much happier without all that "stuff". Stuff is nice, don't get me wrong. I became a shop-a-holic in an attempt to fill the hold inside me. In doing so, I did terrible damage to my marriage, for which I am eternally sorry. I have been divorced now 14 years...it has been a journey. I want to be a homemaker again and be a wife, if that is God's plan for me. If not, being single is fantastic!
Today is Veteran's Day, and I am reminded of the service my parents gave to this country, as well as my Godfather. Mom and Daddy were both in the Army, as a matter of fact, that's how they met. They were stationed in Germany during WWII, and eventually married there. So many others have given their lives, whether in service, or in death, so I can have the freedom to sit here and blog. Wow. I take so much for granted just because I live in this great country. What a gift.
