I've gone through some pretty rotten things myself, and am in some ways even grateful for them...they've taught me that 99% of happiness is in the choosing and in your attitude. Despite what life throws your way you can choose to embrace God's blessings wherever you find them. You have learned some very important lessons, and you state them so well.

I'm glad you can still find happiness. I have too. I'm so glad you have your husband and your kids. That's what makes my life amazing as well.I've decided at this age that there is nothing more I can do for those around me. I can only be there if needed but I can't make people change. I'd love to meet up with you someday. Maybe we will eventually get to one of those conferences? ;) I totally get where you are coming from. I'm glad you can still find happiness. I have too.

The pain often makes it harder to see, but sometimes it's helpful to shine a big bright light on it all (if that makes any sense!) There is so much to be thankful for.
