I've felt like my first few posts have been more negative than positive. So, I thought I should post something positive. What could be more positive than listing my blessings from last year?
1) My divorce was finalized in February of 2011.
2) I completed my first year of college with mostly A's.
3) I received a job offer for the summer which helped replace the child support I wasn't receiving.
4) I received a full-ride scholarship to a private university here. The scholarship is good for 5 years and enables me to be a full-time student and NOT have to work.
5) I got a car after not having one for 6 months.
6) My little brother got married and I gained a really cool sister.
7) I began receiving child support again through child support recovery.
8) I completed my first semester at university with all A's and B's.
9) The kids and I moved into our own place.
10) I not only survived in 2011...I THRIVED!
These aren't necessarily in the order that they happened. But its amazing to look back and see what a great year I really had. Its so easy to focus on the negative (a lot of really crappy things happened last year too) but...I think I'll have a better frame of mind if I focus on the good stuff.
