Isn't it amazing that a thing like checking a box can be such a big deal? Three years ago I had to check the box 50+ AND status as "widowed". I lost my husband of 32 years to cancer and turned 50 the same year. I'll have to say that the 50+ box was a lot easier. I was really angy that I had to now check THAT(widow)box, so I continued to check the 'Married" box for sometime. I can finaly say that "it is just a box" It's never easy starting a new chapter in you life, but this chapter has taught me who I am...not just a Mom, a Wife or works for XYZ. It's finally "All about ME" I would never have choosen this chapter...by I am making the BEST of it. There are MANY things to be thankful for, you just have to remember what they are!
