A full year of beginning

It's still amazing to me to realize that it's 2014.
What I'm still trying to wrap my brain around is that I made it through 2013.
I survived the trials and the tribulations.
Granted there were times when I felt like throwing in the towel.
Times where the burden seemed to be smothering me.
But I persevered through it.
Why?
My kids were (and ARE) the lights of my life.
It's because of them I got out of bed.
It's because of them I did everything that I did in the last year.
It's been ONE YEAR since I finalized in my mind that my marriage was over.
Where I am today is so much different than last year.
Amazing how everything was turned upside down.
The kids and I are happier and more settled.
Christmas was GREAT!
Hopefully it'll set the foundation for all our Christmases to come.
This is going to be our first official full year as a threesome.
And it's going to be AWESOME!!!!
