My thoughts.....

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi

As I was thinking of how I was going to start off my new blog page, I ran across the quote above; which is so very true!I know I am not different that anyone else. In the past several months, I have had some devastating things happen to me.

Some - i thought - were the end of the world, but I now know that couldn't be further from the truth.My grandmother (Mama Jeanne) passed away July 19th, 2009. 1 week later (on July 28th), my partner and I ended an almost 2 year relationship. We were to be married next November 13th. I left that relationship with great sorrow, resentment and unanswered questions.I no longer have those emotions.

Over the past several months, certain people have entered and re-entered my life and I see that as a true blessing. I know that if I was still in my previous relationship, I would never have formed the bond with certain people that I have today. So, I can now look back uponJuly 2009 as not being the worst month of my life, instead I now see that July 19th was the saddest day for me, but July 28th was the best day of my life. Do I experience saddness from time to time, absolutely, but do I now regret the events that have taken place, no.Everything does happen for a reason, and this was what GOD had planned for me.

I have 3 of the BEST friends & wonderful BIG SISSY a girl could ever ask for!

3 wonderful children have come into my life; they call me "Gramette" which is adorable. It is so very true when people say to you - "Kids say the darndest things"... I know how a mother could feel on a daily basis, when I have had some of my saddest days all I have to do call or text one of my girls and they brighten my entire day.............. even though they aren't really "my" grandkids, we still have a special bond that can never be broken or replaced.
