I would pick you

What an incredible year! I just want to thank you all for the wonderful Christmas cards, encouraging cards, emails, phone calls, hugs, gifts you have sent. God has blessed me with so many great family and friends. I couldn't have made it through this difficult year without you. Thank you so much for loving me through great times but especially through the difficult times. I could never imagined how a divorce could effect my life nor the life of those around me until I went through it. I appreicate you all and hope you know how much I feel loved.
Some of you are reading this because of the divorce. Maybe we have never met but somehow my life and your life got intertwined. WOW! Isn't that amazing? I have new friends because of my divorce. How awesome is that? I feel my relationships are so much stronger because of the struggles I have been through. I love that. I didn't enjoy going through a divorce but it has made me reflect on my life, on my relationships and now I am a much better person and will find much more joy in life. I can tell I am cherishing every single day more and more. I enjoyed being in Montana for Christmas and New Year's and loved being with family and friends. We had a great time even though the weather waited to snow until after Christmas. The sledding was incredible!
Thanks again for being such awesome friends and family. If I could pick my friends and family, I would pick you!! I love you all. I hope I get to see you all this year. Please come visit Simba & I. We would love to have you.
