Saturday Night Sappiness

I feel that I'm in a very good place in my life right now. True, drastic life changes are happening in my world, changes that are normally considered traumatic or devastating, but I feel a sense of renewal. I feel like this is God's way of giving me a second chance to get it right, and to be honest, this is the happiest I have been in a long time. Amazing friends have come into my life in the past few months that I am tremendously thankful for, and I have finally met some of the best friends I've ever had. I feel like myself again, like I'm free to be who I am without the risk of ridicule or punishment. If there is one lesson I have learned from my marriage it would be this: never think you can change someone before you go into a marriage. Wendy and I both came into this marriage not completely satisfied with who the other was, and that is what brought this divorce on. You have got to find that one person that you can look at and say "She is beautiful, amazing, and perfect just the way she is right now, and whatever changes she goes through, I will still think she is just as beautiful, amazing, and perfect." I have absolutely no regrets about getting married to Wendy because I was blessed with my son, but I hate that this divorce has to happen for him. I can;t tell all of my friends, who are actually more like a family to me, how thankful I am for your love, support, and for just being yourselves.
