Optimistic thoughts for the New Year
I have not been making many posts the last couple of months for that I owe my loyal readers an apology. I have wrote a lot of blogs but they were too angry and bitter for me to post them on here. As this year comes to a close, I have tried to draw on some optimism for the coming year. So here are some optimistic thoughts, thank yous and overdue congratulations.
- Thank you to both sets of parents for helping me make a great Christmas for my girls. Also to my brothers and sisters that helped out as well. We managed to get everything on the list except the Jonas Brothers, a pony and John Cena. (Okay, Yes, John Cena was mine but it was worth a try
) - I have three beautiful daughters to give me love, laughter and headaches.
- I have a wonderful grandmother who is a treasure.
- Thank you to my In-Laws for letting us stay in your home while I get on my feet again.
- Congrats to my Aunt Bev on her engagement.
- Congrats to my husband and his girlfriend on their upcoming bundle of joy. No hard feelings truly. May your union be a long one the two of you deserve each other.
- Thank you to my husband for walking out on us. You’ve done us a favor. We will be that much stronger when we get through this. We don’t need you! My hair is growing back, I haven’t threw up from nerves in months nor have I felt the urge to beat inanimate objects with a sledgehammer. ( See the pattern here?) On that note….
- To his girlfriend, I will be glad to pass the sledgehammer to you. You will need it! Whether to relieve stress or to keep homewrecking huzzies at bay. Think you can trust him? Remember there are more in the bar where he found you. If you should change your mind about castration, call me. I have dull rusty shears and 7 months of being really pissed off as well as a small army of seven brothers happy to hold him down. Which leads me to:
- My dear hubby, my brothers miss you very much and can’t wait to see you again.
- Thank you dear hubby for your Oct screw-up that brought C. back into my life.
- To C.’s cousin Chris, thanks for showing me I was worth ten bucks and more along with saving my butt in the server class.
My final optimistic thought for tonight. It could always be worse. For every one thing that is bad in my life, there are three things for which I am truly blessed. It could be the other way around.

Jamie, may 2009 be a blessed year for you and your family. It’s getting better slowly. I just had to find my optimism again and quit being so bitter! I’m looking forward to the new year!
I too have been where you are now. The bitterness passes and life becomes good. Remember good decent men are out there and you will find the one God wants you to have. Hug those sweet children and think how you got the best out of the deal. You got the children and he got a woman who will cheat on him while he cheats on her. What goes around comes around.
Yes, I do have the best out of the deal. I got three beautiful daughters that make each day worth it all.
We have to try our best. I have suffered a lot too and the key is to keep letting go of fear and pain and enter into a new way of feeling and thinking. Lovely blog.
I been in a similar situation in the past. It does and will get better. It’s better to be single than to be trapped in a marriage with a cheater. Your girls will learn from your example, too. Let them see a strong woman who can make it on her own and doesn’t allow any man to mistreat her.
Happy New Year and many blessings and smiles for 2009!

Jo: It is getting better. I just enrolled in college to start the new year and a new career. I want my girls to be strong. I let myself be mistreated my first marriage. I don’t want that to happen to them.
