I am grateful every day of my life...I also have struggled my whole life and worked so hard. I grew up with no father, abusive mother, molested, poverty, etc.......joined the army, married an abuser (31 years of abuse, then divorce); then abuse from a church. My life story won a scholarship and I began school at 60.......In a way I am grateful I grew up the way I did, because I am so grateful for everything I have....didn't have a refrigerator, tub/shower, car or phone growing up, so for most people, they don't even think about those normal things we all have, but I.....do!
