I don't know that I was so compassionate to people going through a divorce previously to my own experience, so their concern is doubly precious.<br /><br />Terri--you're right. Now I am me. It took awhile for me to get used to that and to feel like it was a good thing, but now I know it!<br /><br />Dear, dear Abby--I'm so sorry for having to deal with that. I can't imagine how difficult it must be. I think we were crazy to want to be adults; wouldn't you rather just plan a really rockin' assembly? I love you, dear friend. Thank you for being you.<br /><br />Monique--You give me way too much credit, but thank you for it anyway! I'm so glad we're friends.<br /><br />Susan--Kind of like a badge of honor: I've been through something hard and I'm still alive.<br /><br />Cindy--thank you! I'm doing my best.<br /><br />Melissa--Thank you. I love you!Wendy A.

We all face times of trial and deep despair and wonder who we are. I too found that the very most important discovery is that I am a daughter of God -a loving Father. As such, I have great strength and can find the peace I need. Hold your head high and continue being just who you are.Cindy R.

Titles are just so.......Life is such a crazy beast!<br />Titles are just so.....labeling. <br />And really, are any of us just a simple label? <br /><br />I love your honesty, and I grieve your heartache. I am married to a man with bipolar depression (title) and unluckily, he has often been very bipolar about being married. <br /><br />It is amazing that it has really been since high school that I have known you well, that your amazing light continues to shine through!Salisbury Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365116480848180292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-48257363316333613562011-02-14T07:13:58.306-07:002011-02-14T07:13:58.306-07:00Keep introducing you...before you were so-n-so'...Keep introducing you...before you were so-n-so's wife; now you are you.

Let me add that I'm very glad to have met you, and I enjoy your posts. A few years ago, I was surprised to learn how many trials I shared with so many people, both in the church and not, when I gained the courage to open up a little about myself. The resulting close friendships I've made have been very healing.

While I'm not a child of God, I am a woman who has felt her identity slip under the crushing wheels of love... and emerge with giant tread-marks all over it. Not to mention some stubborn grit.<br /><br /> Glad to meet you. Never settle for an easy identity; complexity is much more fun. <br /> Peace, MariAging Opheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360783709169946256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-72988219633914313402011-02-13T13:54:43.162-07:002011-02-13T13:54:43.162-07:00Nice to meet you! :-)
