Boy, you really are sticking with your decision to be positive rather than negative. I think you're on to something. I've always heard, but haven't heeded enough, that the only thing you can change is your own attitude.....I especially like your positive take on having your heart broken!
I know that bones that have been broken heal stronger than ever, and my own life has taught me that this is also the way of hearts.
You and your thoughts are beautiful, and your children are most blessed in having you to guide them into their own lives.
Children - yes. They are always the gifts of marriage that keep on giving forever, no matter what.
You. Love.
I'm gonna have to try this list thing. Oh, wait...I have to be blogging to do a list.
And thank you for sharing this with me.
