I am thankful for the life I have been able to forge for myself after my divorce. Just remarried, after seven years, to my best friend, and I couldn't be happier. We have each other, so we have everything. A drive in the country on a Saturday afternoon feels like we're rich. I'm thankful that I finally had the insight to move on from a life of constraint and sadness. Every time I am around my ex-husband, and I see him interact with my daughters or his new wife, I realize that I saved my own life by leaving that situation. Now I feel solidly centered in my own life, with a true partner, and for the first time in my 51 years, I am starting to actually feel like an adult.
