Well this year is coming to a close. I am not sure if it has been mentioned this year or not but this year was DCS's 20th year on the web and for DCS it
has been a bit of a tumultuous year to be sure but we will continue no matter what.
For the members here well as the holidays come to a close some are discovering new life and new traditions, others are just trying to make it through. Some are just starting out on the divorce journey, some are in the middle, and still some have ended the divorce process while discovery still further the fact that life goes on and does certainly exist after divorce.
I have been here for a good many years now and it has been more than a memorable journey with all of you. I have, hopefully,
, made a great many friends,
probably made a few enemies too,
. All in all it has been great and I hope it will continue to be great and I hope to be here for many years to come.
One immutable fact that I know for certain is that divorce is both and end and a beginning and albeit a sometimes difficult experience to be sure it does measure us, weighs us, and as we work through it we change the things in our lives that find us wanting and overall we all become better people, hopefully, I know, while I can be a bit obnoxious,
, overall I came through the process so much a better person that when I look back at who I was, although still a good
person back then, I stop and think sometimes how my life would have been then with the knowledge and wisdom that I have now based upon my experiences to this
point.
With times being as hard as they are economically, I still look toward each year with at least a little bit of hope. I go forward still working on myself as a person and my life as a whole. While there have been times over the years where I just wanted to give up, I never did, never could seem to.
So my hope for all and for DCS is that the upcoming year will be a better year.
For those of you just starting the divorce journey, please know that it will get better and that you will get through it all, that I can promise you.
May you all have a blessed new year and may we all work hard to bring DCS back to what it once was.
