Not quite sure how to feel today for it has a lot or ironic things pinned to the date. For starters today would have been my 11th wedding anniversary. Should I be sad about this, knowing I will no longer celebrate this day? The second thing this date brings is the loss of my dog. 10 years ago it was decided to have him put down due to illness, he was only 3 years old. Not a day goes by that I dont think of that pup. And the last thing this date brings is the 4 month mark of my divorce. I always said it was funny that my divorce happened exactualy 4 months to the day of what would have been my 11th wedding anniversary.

So I must ask myself, do I feel happy knowing that life has changed for the better or feel sad for what could have still been.

condolences for the loss of your dog

sad for what could have been? no, many things could have been both good and bad

you woke today, relish today

"unsure how to feel" man that is great, feelings can overwhelm us, i've been there, reality is we have it in us to choose how to feel
that isn't easy
at times it is extremely difficult
the choice is ours though

When given the choice to be either "happy" or "sad", I always choose to be happy and content.

You can acknowledge the significance of the date, but that acknowledgement doesn't have to dictate your mood.

Sorry about your puppy. Maybe its time to get new one. Puppies can bring us such joy! If it wasnt a happy marriage then your better off where you are now. . Look forward to what will be.

Sorry about all your losses in these last 11 years; this week too would have been my 11th anniversary and I too had a wonderful dog "scotty" because the only one he liked was me and was biting people and children. I had a dear friend that took him out to the country where he could run free In a large penned up gate, but I've always missed him and that was also about ten years ago. I divorced my husband in 2013, we have tried on three separate occasions to reconcile to no resolution, he can't love me the way I need to be loved, there is a lot of water over the damn and I still love him, always will, but it's time to move on. I'm alone, I'm an alcoholic and I'm trying to stop drinking first and get healthy, then I'll. worry about my future living status, right now it looks like this is a lifetime thing; I'll never love again, My ex was an opiate addict and never told me, he robbed my bank account the first week of our marriage and it continued until we divorced, My drinking progressed with the lies and rejection .,, he stopped using after I left; I'm trying hard to come clean now ,,, enough is enough and leopards do not change their spots. Good luck and God Bless. trust in God when you can't trust anyone else,

Sorry about your state of affairs and my condolences about everything else you are going through. And you are right, God is always there when nobody else is. Knowing that fact, alone, keeps me sane. Hope the best for you in whatever you pursue
