Back in school and to hear the students talk about their Thanksgiving was great. I am so blessed to teach in a Christian school where it is ok to mention the name of God. My girls are gone, back to their homes and all has return to normal. It is quiet again, but I do miss them. I don't know how one can make it being alone with no one to fellowship with.
I have also decided not to do any decorations for Christmas. I am not buying any tree this year. I don't feel the spirit of Christmas as this will be my first away from the "home and husband " I knew.

Blogging 1 year already!!
I have just notice that my first entry was around Thanksgiving of last year since I have been blogging. As I look back on the year I have encountered major changes in my life. TNeill left for college, I am divorced, in a 1 bedroom apt. and trying to understand how are we to grown because of our changes.
I look as life dishes out so many gravels we can either sit and remain miserable in our despair or get up and turn those gravels into solid rocks. I have decided that in spite of the curves and bump I will move onward, forwards and upwards. I expect great blessings, open doors, opportunities that will propel me to another level. One that shows me how to live and enjoy the victories, to understand the defeats and correct the mistakes.
As this 2nd year of blogging begins, I pray that something I will say would be positive, encouraging and maybe life changing for someone.

A nice day
Thanksgiving was nice. TNeill stayed home in bed, she was sick and Tnoya and I enjoyed dinner with friends. It was nice to fellowship with old friends and just sit and laugh. It was nice to talk old stories and not have to worry about anything. A nice quiet evening. I love to be with friends who accept me as I am. Of cause Winston was mention, wondering where he went if any. I know he loves turkey and stuffings but he has cut so much people that he must have stayed home. How sad, no meal of thanksgiving, no friend to go to, no family how sad, how sad, but that's the "bed he made".
I am thankful, so very thankful because in spite of the hardship of divorce this year I am alive and have my girls and looking forwards to see what God has in store for me.
Ready, Set Go!!!!!!!!

My girls-that's Thanksgiving to me
Today was a good day, no work and both daughters came over. Tneill is home from school and Tnoya took the day off. Nothing is better than family and to spend time with my girls is the Thanksgiving I love. We go over to a friend tomorrow and I am looking forward to the food, I cook "nothing".
As life goes on, one can only hope that God will open doors to happiness and blessings. I know that God will do it for my girls, they are really good girls who deserve the best in life.

A new Thanksgiving
It is almost Thanksgiving, I am not sure how to feel as this will be my first Thanksgiving not as a family. This is one of many things that will change due to a divorce.I have my children with me but no longer a husband, we are not even friends.
Life is so different and every day a new challenge but I will make it, I am a strong black Christian woman who trust in God. I don't know what Christmas will hold but I guess it will be one Christmas gift less.

A Changed Life
Since my last blog, I have left my house, moved into a 1 bedroom apartment, divorce my husband ........ Life has changed.
On May 6th I decided to leave my husband of 27 years. I have been faithful, supportive,loyal as a wife, mother, Christian and friend. I love my family and did everything in my power to keep it together. Yes, my husband and I had problems but it was nothing we could not handle if we worked at it together but my husband had different plan. He was having an affair, the 20th one, with one of his students 20 years younger and that was enough for me . Once his daughters found out they encourage me to step up and walk away. What makes a man throw away his family and marriage of 27 years for a lil fling? Please if you know tell me.!
Well, life goes on I am now divorce and on my own, my girls are living their lives and we have not heard from their father/my husband (ex) since the day I walked out. He showed no interest in fighting for his family, trying to talk to the girls... nothing!! no one has heard from him since and eventhough we had birthdays without hearing from him we continue to move on.
I don't know what life has for me, I am so sad this has happened to me but I do know the God is in control and whatever doors he open for me will have some type of happiness connected to it.
