Happy Friday!! Well, may day started off very well. I got to the office and there was a bag waiting for me on my desk, a bag of candy. Our mechanic always brings me a candy from Mexico and this time he brought me an entire bag full.
He is a very sweet old man. He doesn't know I never eat the stuff! I always give it to my girls. But, it is the thought itself that is so very sweet! Next thing that happened this morning was, I received a wonderful email from a very dear friend, it made me smile and laugh!! It was a great email. Then...one of my drivers came in this morning with a gigantic box of cookies for me. (Is this my day or what?) He said he liked seeing me smile and he thanked me for all that I do for him and gave me those cookies. It is very nice to be appreciated. Haven't felt this appreciated in YEARS!! But, the best thing that happened to me happened last night. I was giving my mom a shower and I was telling her about of one my friends on DS that had sent me a reply to my journal yesterday telling me what a hero I am and how it made me cry, it was very sweet! Well, my mom told me that I am her hero. You have to understand that my mother has never even told me that she is proud of me, so for her to tell me that I am her hero...needless to say, I lost it. I cried and cried!!! In a good way! I, so honestly, feel wonderful. I am in such a great place in my life right now that all the chaos going on with my divorce just isn't bothering me. I wish I could bottle it and give it away to those of you that need some, I really do. It is a tremendous feeling. I hope and pray that all of you that are hurting find what I have found in myself.
On the radio right now Whitney Houston is singing The Greatest Love of All. Do you know? The greatest love is in you!
God loves you and so do I!!

It is true. God does love us. He just allows the trial and tribulations that we go thru to bring us closer to him. In my case it did work.
