I look at friends that have been married 30 years or more, They seem so happy and blessed with their grandkids to adore. Now I’m divorced… is it because I chose the wrong one? He was the stars, the moon, and my rising sun. I look back, and try to sweep the bad things under the rug, But God saw the heartache, and decided to pull the plug. Everything happens for a reason, so they say… Sometimes the only thing you can do is walk away. 10/22/17 Contest 236 Any Form, Any Topic Max of 16 Lines Sponsor: Brian Strand Awarded 7th Place

Yes it is a mixed bag of life for me. But I still have plenty to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving season and Christmas is the perfect opportunity to give thanks. Thank you Lord, for all my blessings!
