I just wanted to come by for a minute and say how encouraging it is to be able to get information here, or ideas on where to go to research things; and to say thanks for this community and those who take the time to answer posts and give assistance.
There are people in this world who spend time talking about all they do for others, and there are folks who seek no publicity or praise, but who through both words and actions take steps that greatly change others lives. There are some of those among us here. I have seen so many caring posts and know there are people helping people unselfishly within the members of our community.
How hard this divorce path is for so many of us! No, maybe you can't get answers to hard life decisions on a message board in cyber space, but the sharing of information as well as connecting with others who have 'been there, done some of that' is so helpful and empowering also. I am glad I found this board, and I hope I can be find more ways to be encouraging to others more as I walk this path through the divorce mire.
Found the following on a webring set up for moms and dads -- author unknown,
but wanted to share it today:
We all have opportunities to be angels to one another. We can
choose to obey the 'still small stirring within',
the little whisper that says, "Go. Ask. Reach out. Do.
Be an answer to someone's plea.
You have an important part to play. Choose it with care."
We can pray for others, then we can decide to risk, and
when we take the time to watch, care, and help others, we
send out the love which we also receive. The world will be
a better place for it, yes, but also one or more lives might
be changed forever because you did something to help.
Angels dance each time goodness prevails...
Peace, Annah...looking through windows now instead of just seeing the closed doors.

and thank YOU ---- for so beautifully putting into words what many of us think in our hearts, day after day.
you are right - the road to divorce is difficult. and sometimes people can't really help us - but it helps when people can just give us a shoulder to cry on - or, sometimes, a quick kick in the rear to get us moving. and its been my experience that the wonderful people on this board know just when to give the shoulder and when to kick...
good luck to you too
Wow Annah.... thank you for opening a window for me today!
