My Sea Change

What is a sea change? I wondered the same thing. A sea change is a drastic transformation and this is exactly what life has given me. One day I am walking around worrying about what to wear to a party or reminding myself we need batteries. And suddenly I am unraveling lies, deceit and hurt. And my world has suddenly been divided into "before" and "after." Before it was we, a whole family and now it is I, just me. This awful, terrible thing happened and it has changed my life in ways, that if I had had a choice I am not sure I would have changed it. And yet, it has happened it is changed and I will never be the same. So what happens now? Where do I go from here? These are things I am still working on. There are a few things I have already discovered. The first is that the Lord is mindful of me. He knows of my sorrow and my joy and he is with me every step of the way. The second is that happiness is a choice. So, I choose happiness.
