I also felt like a fraud to put on a smile when I was feeling miserable. One time in particular that I remember is when the Army deleted my husbands orders for an assignment that we so desperately wanted that they'd already offered him. I just could not get over it. It took me a long time to come to terms with it. I was angry. But in the end, we finally ended up at that assignment. And I will admit that things probably ended up working out for the absolute best. It was definitely a case where God had a better plan for us than I had. I just hadn't stopped complaining and given my trust to Him. So my loss was actually a blessing, and I was busy complaining instead of being grateful for all the other things going on. I think you have brought yourself back to a great place being grateful, and that is admirable.
