This will be the last share, there are so many, but I also have so many others things to offer here that I’m going to move on after this one.
Chapter 100, pages 338-340 by Tena Beth Thompson:
“When I was newly divorced, I found life scary and intimidating. At first, I felt I was being punished, but in reality I was given the opportunity to find myself and create a new life. I had no idea where it would take me, but I was ready to take the leap. Although I was frightened to travel in a new direction, it was also exciting to ponder my options. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew what I didn’t want: the old me. I was not the same person I had misplaced all those years ago. Prior to this time, my epitaph could have read, “She died without ever having lived.” Thankfully, that would no longer be the case. I was now strong and embraced the courage I never knew I had.”
This can be your view no matter what has occurred to alter your “life as you knew it”.
I went from being a daughter, to a wife, to a mother. I was never just me. There were times I was made to feel like being “me” wasn’t good enough, or a part of “the plan” – even though I had very little input into that same plan.
Now I make the plan. Now I can be “me”. I have been given the gift of a new beginning and as it said on the cover of this book – I will “thrive”. It’s not without it’s challenges, and scary times, but I’m going to be happier and stronger than ever before!
