Experiment: Day Two
This may make my husband uncomfortable, but I doubt it. He's pretty secure about this sort of thing.
I have the most wonderful exes.
I think there are maybe two of 'em out there with whom I'm no longer in contact. And that has to do with the fact that when I was 15 and 19, respectively, I made some not-unselfish choices, probably. (And, y'know what, I'm still sometimes sorry about having been that kid.) But pretty much every other guy I've truly, really loved--given my heart to and taken his in return--is still in my life, at least via this great Internet.
And I love that. So many women can't say that they still stay in touch with the majority of the men who touched their hearts this way. I think it means my "picker" is pretty dang good. Even if I grew up broken. Even if I never trusted any of 'em to be in my life for more than 18 months 'til Keith came along. We did okay.
Day Two:
I am grateful for having the best ex-boyfriends on the planet.
(What is the Experiment? It is this.)

That is indeed something to be thankful for--and even proud of. I had hoped that I would be that way in my life, but I think it's my "picker" that was off. Really, really, really off. Ironically, I think I'm a victim of not growing up "broken," as you put it--I was quite naive and not as discerning as I should've been, clueless that some others are wrestling with demons that I needed to watch out for. But now that I've been through some brokenness, and a bit more aware, I hope I am on the right track.
Thanks for blogging this experiment and reminding us we all have stuff to be grateful for.

Maybe being a little broken has its benefits after all, eh?
Thank you for chiming in on this. I'm glad to have you along for the journey. :) {{hugs}}
