An old friend took me out to dinner recently. We have known each other forever. Okay, about 20 years. She missed my birthday party and wanted to give me a gift. It was a box, hand-painted by her favorite artist.
When I opened the box, I found these.
Forrest Gump was right: life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.
Today, I’m thankful for my old friend and this box of chocolates.
What are you thankful for today?
I survived a bad divorce. Then I survived a REALLY bad custody battle. My ex-husband, “Prince Machiavelli,” got pretty much everything except for my sense of humor and most of my marbles. Oh, and my name isn’t actually Pauline. I write under a pseudonym because I am always in post-divorce peril and the last thing I need is for Prince to drag me back to court. Don’t you feel better about your life now?

I’m thankful for the many donations and support (including yours!) our team received for the walk to end epilepsy. I’m thankful that because of the walk, the family seemed to elude the usual Sunday blues, and I’m thankful for our blue and sunny skies!
