Thankful 2015 - Heartbreaks

I can say now, as I look back to my 20's, that I am grateful for the heartbreaks.  Why?

• Each new dating experience taught me a little bit more about life, love, and relationships.
• I learned with each goodbye what type of man I wanted, what qualities were most important to me, and what type of characteristics I didn't want.
• I learned how wonderful it was to be in love.
• I learned to set my standards high.
• I learned that heartbreaks always brought me closer to God.
• I discovered that heartbreaks were refining.
• When I finally met Christopher and knew that he was mine forever, I was immensely grateful.
• I know that those heartbreaks will help me to be more empathetic to my daughters.
