Turning The Page To My Future‏

I need to turn the page on my past, new experiences could be waiting for me....

You would think that the older that we get, the wiser we'd be, I'm still like that teenager inside.  I still cannot believe some of the choices I have made...  I know Mastin Kipp from 'The Daily Love' says we are not broken, nor do we need to be fixed.  I find that so hard to believe about me...

I know I've had amazing and happy times in my life, I have some lovely memories...  I also have deep dark sobbing sorrow, events I want to forget.  I know, I know, I know... those events made me who I am today and changing them could change who I've become.

I don't want to wallow in the sadness, I don't want to feel lost and lonely...  I want to change, I need to feel happiness more than I feel sadness. 

I'm getting a new phone in a few weeks, the first order of business is new music, I swear I have all the saddest love songs on my Blackberry. I don't need anymore assistance in the sad department.  I'm sure the people on the bus wonder about me daily, I'm usually wiping away tears...

I'm turning the page on that last chapter of my life, I just might be pleasantly surprised.

  1. I'm long overdue with reading your post and sharing your wisdom. Thanks for being who you are and for the strong example that you set. You work darn hard to be better, and you always wear your happy face around me. We all have life experiences that drag us down but it's when you stand despite them that you become a giant to many...like me!! love you

  2. It is through processing pain that I am ever able to close the chapter and look forward to my next happy endeavor. It's how we grow. This past year has been tough for you, you needed this year to process and review. This next chapter of your life will be positive and amazing from all that you have learned from taking your time to process through it.

  5. It says
    "Take a jar for 2013.
    If good things happen, write them down on a note & do them in the jar.
    On New Years Eve you can open the jar and see how amazing the year was."

  9. I think so many of us are in this stage of reflection and the tying off of loose ends as we wind down the final days of 2012. As you mentioned when you visited my blog, turning the page involves making some tough choices. You're not alone in this, honey. I'm looking at some difficult decisions as well, ones that I don't want to make, but know that I have to. I choose to believe that although I am making these choices of my own free will, my decisions are also being guided. Divine guidance is always there; I just have to believe that for all of us. Be well as you walk forward into your next, new chapter!

    Blessings,

    - Dawn

  12. Thank you Dawn, making those tough choices are the hardest... sometimes they end up being the most rewarding... if we can just make them.

  13. I so love this post -- I can very well relate with you. At 41, I sometimes think and behave like a silly teenager! The crying on the bus, that's also something I'm familiar with. Wait, I'm starting to be sentimental. Lol! By the way, I like the alliterations you used here (deep dark sobbing sorrow). Lovely!

I love and appreciate all genuine comments, to save a little time, I won't be commenting on the comments on my blog (unless you don't have a blog), I will just visit your blog and comment there, if you have left a meaningful comment for me... I would much rather spend the time reading and commenting on a few extra blogs ❤
