Life changes constantly. It is fact, not fiction, the best laid out plans fall through all of the time.
We can feel disappointed, sad, angry, and frustrated. After all, we are just human. Why not deliberately choose to allow those feelings to wash over us and then purposely let the muck run off?
When we focus on the what could have been rather than the what is, we allow the what isn’t to mar what our lives are about right now.
Would you rather have a new slate at your fingertips, or would you rather allow the past to scratch the beautiful surface laid before you right this very moment?
I’ll take the clean surface. I refuse to allow any what was to ruin it.

I’ll take the clean surface as well!

I will too, Amy! Sometimes it isn’t so easy to do, but there is nothing better than looking at the present, and moving forward.
Mary, I’m really enjoying this writing blog. You have alot to say, my friend! Keep up the good work! I went back and read to the beginning ;)
Vickie, thank you! I love writing and often-times have lists of ideas to write about. I am glad you enjoy the posts so far!
