Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Right now, 3 couples that we've known all of our adult lives are separating or divorcing. It breaks my heart.
I am suffering chronic pain (rheumatoid arthritis) and dh is not making nearly what he used to (thankyousomuch sucky economy) but my kids are healthy and I may have to cut back, but we can pay our bills.
I will NOT complain. My marriage is intact and my family is healthy. God is good.
I, too, am feeling ever more grateful! Hubby's web design business just now beginning to feel effects of crummy economy. And yes, the impact on our income is dramatic. BUT we are completely debt-free except for a smallish mortgage, which we just refinanced to a lower rate for 10 years, saving us a lot per month. So, we're in a position to weather the storm, and I am so thankful for that.....Bless you, Kristin!!
Oh Tricia, I'm so sorry. It's hard to watch, but you know when we were younger, that seemed to be the age divorce happens. I don't think this generation is prepared for how hard kids are on a marriage. too many men grew up with dreams of Mrs. Cleaver and too many women with Cinderella and her handsome prince. Life gets messy.
I'm so sorry about the pain, it is so hard to think about anything when you're in pain. Katy, I'm praying you just go thru this unscathed and God has a bigger client for you. The open house went well, so yay!
Two years ago I had a scare with a large tumor in which the ER docs all came in and patted my hand and said they were soooo sorry, with the sad eyes....and I wouldn't know until surgery if it was cancer and if it had spread they would take out all the organs it had spread to during surgery, so I wouldn't really knwo until I woke up the outcome. IF I woke up (I'm a little dramatic). During the 10 days between that and the day of surgery I had time to reflect on what may have been my entire life forever and ever because I was pretty convinced that was the end of me. I was thankful that I had a wonderful family and great friends. I had done everything in my life that I'd ever wanted to do. I had a few regrets, but the outcome of everything in my life had been wonderful and I would not have changed a thing. Well, except for that present situation. I have a wonderufl pastor who came to the hospital pre-op with me and DH and sat with him in the waiting room during surgery. I had awesome musician friends who called me in the room after surgery to ask what Dilaudid was like, lol. (it's yummy, btw). I decided that it didn't matter where I lived or what I did, because I had a great life, great memories, and great friends and family. I feel for the people who can't say that. And the tumor was benign, so it was all good in the end too! I went in with the thought that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, no matter what we think about it at the time, lol. And that there is always something we can learn from every situation - new discoveries we make about ourselves. Hopefully they are good ones!!

Wow, what a blessing just to read these posts!
I'm thankful for life! After a scare with cancer (that was removed--yay!) two years ago, I'm so very thankful for the gift of every day, my family and friends.
The frustrations of life can be so big that it's hard to keep our focus on God and the fact He is working all things for our good. But He is. Every. Day.
That's how I got through my hard times and how I'll continue to get through--knowing He's right beside me and He'll see me through.
Change is hard but you've got a great attitude about it, K!
I'm so grateful for my kids and my new granddaughter. Who knew I could love that little girl so much?
Wow Cheryl & Di, I'm so glad you're here to talk about the growth. Hopefully, I will be too! Rocking out here to the Michael Jackson tributes. Sigh, I'm 18 again.
