Joe Giudice Is "Grateful for My Girls and Family" as He Reflects on His Journey

Joe Giudice is feeling the love.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey husband recently took to Instagram to express his gratitude to all of those who have been wishing him well as he embarks on a new chapter of his life. 

Joe shared another motivational message on social media on December 22. "Growth is actually contagious, so if you want to reach your goals, you've got to get around people that are going in the same direction you want to be going, and you will catch the success," read a quote from self-help author Dr. Henry Cloud. 

In the caption to the post, Joe thanked everyone who has helped him during this difficult time. "I love you all for the support through my journey!" Joe wrote. "I am especially grateful for my girls and family."

This is the latest in a series of inspirational posts Joe has been sharing since he joined Instagram following his release from ICE custody in October. Joe has especially been sharing words of encouragement in the wake of reports that he and his wife, Teresa Giudice, had decided to separate after 20 years of marriage last week.

As Joe mentioned in his latest inspirational post, his loved ones have long been by his side during his legal battle, especially now as he remains in Italy while awaiting a final decision in his ongoing deportation case. Luckily, Joe will get to be with his family this holiday season when his daughters (Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10) visit him in Italy for Christmas, a source told PEOPLE last week. However, Teresa is reportedly staying home with her father, Giacinto Gorga.

Teresa opens up more about how "hard" the holidays have been without Joe around in The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 10 After Show, above.
