I hope you are having a lovely Friday. It is a rainy day here in NC. I hope it is a beautiful day where you are.
All of us who have gone through a divorce know how painful the process can be and that the pain can linger. My motto is “fight to find joy in the journey.” I believe that this is possible but you have to fight to make it happen.

Here are a few things I have done this week to find joy. I post the fun stuff on my other blog Kathiey’s World.
I found myself thinking ahead to Thanksgiving. I found some side dishes that sounded really good on Pinterest. Side Dishes for Thanksgiving…

Then I thought about some fun drinks to serve over the holiday season. Eight Fun Drinks for a Cold Winter Evening.

I wrote a post on what I call my Entertainment Wrap-Up. This included books, tv, and movies.

I had the opportunity to visit a fun burger and bourbon restaurant in Apex, NC. I went to Tap Station.

For a shopping adventure, I went on Amazon looking for an Outfit to Wear to a Park in the Fall.

Maggie and Caleb spent last weekend with me. Whenever I have the grandkids, I am always looking for adventures. While they were with me, we went on a sculpture walk in Apex, enjoyed ice cream at a local ice cream shop, then we went to a wild animal park in Burlington, NC.

I hope you are finding some diversions from divorce in your life. Â At the beginning of the divorce process, I know you don’t feel like doing anything fun. Â I have found if you force yourself to do the things you used to love that, the joy returns. Â
Accept the challenge and get out and have fun.
God bless you on this journey!
