Zoie, How cute is she??

Well today I turn 52, spending the day all alone, just me and my pets and I am enjoying every minute of it! I still worry even now about finances, being alone after that surgery as I still have trouble doing things and reaching things, but I am enjoying living alone. My precious little doggie Zoie is enjoying her Chew Bone toy, had to take a pic, what a sweet face.

  2. Happy Birthday!
    Being the same age, I understand how scary that could be.
    Being happy and at peace is something to enjoy this birthday and be proud of yourself, for being strong.

  3. Happy Birthday Carmen; I can certainly identify with you; the same thing happened to me in July. And like you I feel a lot more at peace; just me and my fur kids. Like you also I have a Zoey! She is an English Bulldog as are all my babies. My sweet love Niles died the month before the idiot ran off to play with someone he met on the internet; I am truly way more devastated by the loss of my Niles than by him leaving. He was so full of lies and deceit. I had given him a second chance after he had pulled this same thing before. Well we are good people you and I, and we try to do the right thing. If people take advantage of us that is on their soul, not ours. I have also become more spiritual since my time now is not taken up with trying to unravel lies and living in fear of what he will do next. I am currently unemployed with no income other than what he sees fit to give me, but you know I am happy with less; and able to do more since he's gone. I will eventually get a job and put him wayyyy behind me. There are good people out there, and if I find one I will be cautious and slow about it. Truthfully I think I am okay by myself with the fur kids:) Dogs don't lie! LOL. Please feel free to email me if you want to talk anytime! I follow your blog and love the things you do. You are going to be so much better in the long run. Have a really great day of independence; age is just a stupid number; mine is 48; but I act as young as I want to!!!

  4. Happy Birthday, Carmen! Don't ever think you are alone...because you have so many friends that admire your creations and think you are GREAT!! I am so proud of you and am glad that you are doing okay. There is a peace that only the Lord can give and when you have that...you can handle anything! Thank you, Jesus! Take Care and God Bless!

  5. Oh, Hon, I suffered through 2 bad marriages before I finally got self-esteem and quit letting myself be abused. There are many kinds of abuse and I was a magnet for abusive men. You can be truly happy. I had my kids when I was single but you have your daughters and the grands. You will be fine. You are smart and talented and you recognized that it was a bad relationship. If God means for you to have a partner, He will provide. Blessings and prayers for you.

    BTW--I met my 3rd husband and my true soulmate in the grocery store and they just happen to be the same man!

  13. Happy Birthday Carmen! celebrate your accomplishments and your freedom from stress! I was in your shoes 12 years ago and never looked back. I do have 3 great kids from that marriage but that is it. I grew stronger and found parts of myself I never knew existed. I am remarried to a former Marine and I am loving my life finally. You are a strong woman, you can control your own destiny. Enjoy this time you have to pamper yourself! HUGS~ Michelle
