satisfied and a little tired out
whew what a whirlwind
days of baking ahead of time
kids finally showed up
they had no power at their place so they took showers
first and then we ate the big dinner and attacked those gifts
under the tree
oh the paper and ribbons flying everywhere
my toddling grand son had a blast!
as did this mama/grandmama too good to see them all smiling
and joking with each other
all was right with my world
they all woke up this morning and ate all the cinnamon rolls
and then it was off to other places to visit with their Dad
and more family
busy, busy, busy and then silence
and just me and the cat
but gives me times to get my house back in order
how do I feel? hmmmm this has been the 4th Christmas since the divorce
no longer bitter, angry or ready to go off at the mouth over every wrong ever done me in my marriage..I have long since let that go
I am also no longer sad over past memories of us all together or feeling like I was ripped off over the future and growing old together or sad because things had to change so much and I was the one to do it
I am feeling like..this is exactly where I need to be
the ex and I get along better now then we ever did married
the kids are doing great
I succeeded in my first semester at graduate school
I went to christmas eve services ...first time in awhile
which to me is a sign of forgiveness for myself and
to God for many things I was angry over in my life
