Little Christmas

January 6 is an important day in the Christian calendar and is known by many different names around the world -- the day of the kings, little Christmas and of course the Epiphany.

In my world January 6 is the anniversary of my divorce. And this year marks the first anniversary. I was wondering if I should celebrate the way I did last year (with eight girlfriends at an Irish pub) drinking, eating, laughing and a few interesting gifts.

The definition of an epiphany is: a sudden manifestation or perception or meaning of something, an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking; an illuminating discovery, realization or disclosure, a revealing scene or moment.

My divorce was all of the above. This year has been one of reflection and change. But most importantly, I have realized something: I am happy. I am an A+ and was treated like a C- for most of my marriage, which I accepted. But no more. To stay in a relationship that is just okay is not healthy. It's a disservice to oneself.

My epiphany is that I am worth so much more than I was led to believe. And so are we all!

Happy little Christmas everyone!
