With A Wise and Thankful Heart

With the upcoming holidays we as a nation try to remember the importance of these days. We understand that people are what makes us thrive. Despite being single the holidays don't seem as lonely to me. I actually feel more like myself than I have in almost a year and a half. I'm in a peaceful place where I've never been happier. I realize the young girl I was when we first met was happy, but also naive. I know not having a boyfriend and the fact that I've supposed been 'replaced' should leave me sad and heartbroken, but I'm not. Because I'm not in love with him anymore.

I guess I've gained a beautiful new wisdom that has taught me the way like should thrive and move along. As much as he hurt me; I know deep in my heart that all I ever wanted for him was to be happy. This new girl seems like such a sweetheart and I believe if the circumstances were different we would be friends. I hope she can be for him what I never could.

The past few months have knocked me down and I'm grateful for them because they taught me the importance of getting back up.

• I've learned how resilient and strong I am.
• I've seen what amazing friends and family I have.
• I've learned I'm not determined by who I am with, but what kind of person I am.
• I've been reminded that waiting for someone who deserves me is acceptable
• I'm beautiful.
• I've learned to be thankful for the little things. The late night talks with friends, being snuggled in bed watching a favorite television show, and a gingerbread latte from Starbucks.

So this past week I could of sat and pouted about the past I might have lost, however I decided to look forward to the future. There is a man out there I will get to be thankful for someday for being worthy of me. Someone who will never forget to be thankful for me. One day I will get to share food and memories with him. Yeah, that sounds nice. I'll dream about that tonight.

I so excited for Christmas!
