Why I am thankful? Seriously? Why? About 7 years ago I used to go to sleep and ask God to take me in my sleep. I was so depressed, I could not go on. Even after my gorgeous procreate was here on earth. I was deeply depressed. My marriage was failing. My health was failing. My vision of who I was and who I was supposed to be…. yep, failing.
It got to the point, I had asked God to take me and my child in our sleep so we can get together in heaven with my parents. The end. …Well, that wasn’t the end.
That failed marriage had to play out in divorce court. I had to stop praying for death and pray for strength. I had to learn to be whole “all by myself”. I would take on a rebound that would push me to the brink of my emotional fortitude. In the end, I became stronger. I became grateful for each day. I became obsessed with peace and kindness.
At the end of my youth at age 39 and the new beginning of my womanhood at age 40, I became humbled by God’s Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness.
So now, why am I thankful?
I’m thankful I woke up and that God gives me enough minutes in the day to make the best with what I have, be kind to those I have in my life and push through another day!

I wrote this as a feature in 2015. My life has changed since then. I have tried to love again and loss big time. My Future CEO is thriving. My first dog, Jessie is over the Rainbow Bridge. I am now on meds for my Sarcoidosis and a good biscuit dipped in honey from 200lbs. Life has changed so much, but I am still thankful.
