Day 25
Today I am thankful that I like myself. While there is always room for growth and improvement I am happy with who I am.
Two years ago in Sept. I found myself in a situation that I had not been in for a great number of years. Being alone with no companion. I have said that being by yourself because of the death of a spouse is entirely different than being alone because of divorce. In a divorce one or both partners makes a choice not to be with the other. In the death of a spouse neither of you have a choice. The last 2 + years have been a journey in rediscovering who I am. I am one person now and not part of a unit. I said that after Bobby died I probably understood the best the part of the marriage vows "and the two shall become one".
I made the comment that I had spent so many years being a wife that I had almost forgotten how to be a woman. So I am a work in process learning how to be an individual and sometimes it is a slow process. But I am thankful that for the most part and most of the time I like who I am and am comfortable with myself. As the apostle Paul said, I have learned to be content with whatever circumstance that I find myself in. Let's see what I can learn today!
