Can You be Grateful This Year Despite Your Divorce? 

 I know how hard it is when you are in the middle of a divorce to think of anything but. It seems like the divorce consumes your thoughts every waking moment. You can think of little else. But with Thanksgiving tomorrow, can you muster up some things to give thanks for? Even during the toughest of times there is always something to be grateful for.

 

Here is my list:

 My four beautiful, healthy children

 My two adorable dogs and two precious cats.

My loving mother and brother

 My wonderful friends and business associates

 My patient and caring boyfriend

Living in sunny Florida

 My good health, my home, my car and other possessions

 My divorce-Can't imagine still being married to my ex!

 My ex- for the life lessons I learned during my divorce

 The woman who broke up my marriage- Without her I would still be   married to the ex!

 

 I could go on and on but you get the point. Make your own list and I promise you will feel better. Being grateful makes you focus on the good things in your life and what you focus on expands. Why not try thinking about what you are thankful for every day instead of just on Thanksgiving? By getting into the habit of appreciation, you will start attracting more good things to appreciate into your life. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving will be very difficult for me this year because I lost my mother last week, however, I have many things to be grateful for.  My five children, my sweet grandchildren, a roof over my head, a car to drive back and forth to work, my health, my family and friends, and divorce360 friends too!

Thank you for this reminder.  I am always grateful for my son, our dogs.  My sisters, and friends, who go out of their way to help me.  My co-workers, who keep me busy, and make me laugh.  The fact that I have a job and can support myself and my son, although it's tricky.  I am thankful my stbx's family adores us, and calls frequently to check on how we are doing.  And I am thankful for finding this site and getting the backbone to deal with my stbx without lowering myself to his g/f's standards.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
