I am a mother of two wonderful sons. I teach high school students with learning difficulties. I am recently divorced as my husband decided to pursue some online dating relationships. It was a devastating blow, but it's given me a new lease on life and what really matters. A blessing in disguise, I suppose. :)

Reading, movies, and currently a bit of construction as I am trying to single-handedly finish my basement!

I am struggling.
I am struggling, struggling, struggling.

Not feeling much self-confidence.

I hope you are having a good weekend!!
Hope, you are an inspiration to me always! Thank you so much for the kind words as well as those so full of wisdom. As you, I had to look at the little joys in life, take each moment and enjoy it. The bigger picture falls into place after a while. Hope all is well with you and you are pulling yourself out of this funk as well!
Thanks for commiserating with me Hope! Sometimes, for whatever reason, life just gets you down. It is Thanksgiving here and I guess the holidays just bring out the emotions. As you said, "this too shall pass". Have as good a weekend as you can and know that you aren't the only one!!! Take care, Beth
I just LOVE reading your journals!!!!!! I hope everything starts looking up for you. I know it seems like there's alot of drama in your life right now but that is maybe what you need at this moment. God works in funny ways sometimes.
Thanks hope for your comment on my journal. It was a no hold barred kind of day for me...but Im learning that is ok. Hope you are enjoying the day today! ((hugs))
Going through a divorce right now. My stbx was always looking for the greener grass, and when the looking turned to more than looking...I decided enough was enough!
I've only just begun to realize how much energy I invested in trying to fix the people around me, particularly my stbx. I'm now learning how to set appropriate boundaries.
My oldest son is four. I think he is a bright boy, but he is very stubborn and is having a very difficult time handling his anger lately.
My 6-year old niece contracted Lyme's Disease and is now suffering dehabilitating handicaps as a result. We are hopeful that treatment will prove effective to reverse the effects.
Working, being a single mom, and trying to figure out me in the process... Quite the balancing act.
Have had boughts of depression off and on for years...didn't seek treatment until after my divorce. Felt fantastic for awhile but I general gloom has been with me for several months again. Not sure how to pull myself out of it.
