ABCs of why your life is great

I thought I could use some good karma. So I'm starting an ABC thread to look at positive things about my (and your) life. Here's how it works, in case you haven't done on of these before. I'll post something in my life that is great starting with the letter "A". The next person posts with something great about her or his life starting with "B" and we keep on going through the alphabet.

Here's my "A"

Absolute Autonomy - I'm the only grownup in the house making decisions. I don't have to consult someone else about what is right and best for my life! Right now, I'm enjoying that.

Who has one starting with "B"?

"T"ime for myself when he has the kids. With 3 young kids, alone time is hard to come by!

"U"

Unbound to the thought that I have to behave like someone I'm not to please another.

"V" Voice.
I can voice my thoughts & opinions on how I feel about a certain issue(s) without the worry of having my "better half" telling me how I shouldn't feel that way, think that way or insinuate that I'm a mean or bad person for standing up for myself.

W-alking on the W-ave of my W-onderful W-orld.


Ya know... I'm right up on my 7 year "anniversary" of being divorced, and I have to say.... there were a lot of great things about my marriage, but there were also a lot of things that weren't that great... and I love my life.

B-Blessed-many people will bless you with prayer,hugs and random acts of kindness. I know 'cause it happened (and still happens) to me.

C-Control-over YOUR life and YOUR destiny.

D-Deliverance-you will be delivered from this nightmare.

E-Endurance-you will find out that you have great strength

This is a great thing you are doing-I'm going to suggest it as a form of "therapy" for my Divorce Care class!!

X is a tough one, so I'll have to stretch the rules a bit.

Xcited of over Xercising control over my life without having to consult my Xhusband who at times could be Xtremely opinionated.

I was happily married and with my former husband for 13 years before his 2 As (affair and abandonment). I wouldn't trade those years for anything, especially because it gave me 2 wonderful children, but the life I have ahead of me will be Xcellent.
