Oh my goodness, packing a lot in this month of November. I can see it filling up now, with lots of good things though smile emoticon God give me strength..... and finances...... and blessings on blessings.

I honestly don't really give myself an option of opting out. If there's a will, there IS a way; hence the importance of hope and a future fueling decisions. Everyday is a decision. The more I hear myself say I can do it, the more I actually believe it smile emoticon

There was a time I knew limits; now I just look for ways around them. I suppose had I not been through such trauma, I probably would not have the stamina it takes to endure....... or push others to their potential.

I received homemade birthday cards from the kids which is always a popular gift with me:) To hear their words describing me, their mom, was truly humbling. I am so very grateful for a faith that endures, grace that carries, and strength that builds.

This month begins Logan's last club season of his school years, with the first tournament at JMU in VA. Our times of traveling are picking up again, particularly since he's joined the Yorktowne Volleyball Club this season. We are very excited to be part of a quality club this final year grin emoticon

A few more college visits are on the tentative schedule for this month, which means I am going to be moving nonstop. That's the part that makes being single tough.... very exciting yet challenging times too. I think I'll be drinking a few more coffees than normal!

In years past, birthdays or Mother's Day would come and go and leave a sadness in my soul. It is within the last few years that a shift has taken place, causing me to be shaken out of wanting sympathy and support of a partner.

This shift, however, has moved me onto more firm footing...... Knowing I need to stand on my own.

And believing I can do it.
