rebeljen's Journal

THANK YOU TO ALL MY DS FRIENDS.  As I sit here pondering sleep(I am actually tired), I am re-reading my own journals and all your input and I just want to say THANKS to all of you who have really been here for me with your thoughts, encouragement and prayers.  I hope I have been one ounce as helpful to each one of you as you all have been to me.  It sure is nice to be here on DS and have a safe place to vent and write my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and simply what's going on in my life at this time.  Somehow, the writing really helps me.   I find today that I am in a different state of mind and things don't seem as dark and bleek as they did a few weeks ago.  I am making some changes that I hope will be for the better.  My kids and I are going back to church on a regular basis and even though it won't be the "SAME" as it was with my husband, I am still hopeful that it will bring about some positive change in our lives.  Of course at this time I am not expecting miracles by no means, but I remain hopeful.  I know there will be bumpy roads ahead, with things in the path that I am not prepared for.  But I am still so thankful for everyone of you and even though I don't know you in person as it is, I feel I know you in spirit and that's what matters to me most right now.  Try to keep a smile on your faces, face your obstacles straight on(both easier said than done), and know when you've had enough and simply need to rest.  Take care my friends and keep in touch. 

As always, your DS friend, Jenifer (Jen) 

PS: This is my first green smiley face in over 4 months.  Don't really know why I'm feeling good right now.  How great is that???  :P
