I don’t have a steady job.  At some points this year I was so broke I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to survive.  I started the year heartbroken and afraid to try to find someone to share my life with.  I was second guessing my heart and found myself questioning my judgement.  I was locking myself away and shutting myself of from the world.  But with some help I have been able to move forward.  I have so much to be thankful for.

I can’t express how grateful I am for my friends.  I grew up in a broken home and friends are truly my family.  I am so thankful to you all.  I couldn’t ask for a better family and I love you all from the bottom of my heart.  I feel so loved and appreciated.  Thank you for not judging me and supporting me in my journey.  Hephzibah, Rochelle, Briana, Kathy, Teri and Suzanna have been especially supportive of me. You have listened to me ramble about my successes and my slip ups with open ears and hearts.  Thank you for never making me feel judged and supporting me no matter what.

I have to thank my son for being as tolerant as a son can be with a mother who never dated while he was growing up and then come home to find his mother had quite an active dating life.  You were a little uncomfortable and felt a little lonely but you were always supportive.  I love you so much and you will always be the  #1 man in my life.  You are my heart!

A special thanks to Joey.  I  can’t express how happy and blessed I am that you are in my life.  You are an amazing man.  You have made me feel excited about dating again.  I am so glad that we get to spend time together.  I hope have been an important part of your life too.

I am also blessed to have the readership and support for my blog and writing.  All my fellow bloggers make me feel important and supported.  Thank you all for your words of wisdom and encouragement.  My internet friends are as wonderful as the people I know at home.  I am proud to be in the company of so many amazing writers.  Thank you for sharing your talent and stories and embracing me as I do the same.

My heart is so full of love and appreciation for everything in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving!
