Starting Over

If only we could start over,
the sky would always be blue
and our love would always be true.

     So many of us wish for a "do over." We wish we could step back into time and do some things

differently. We don't like some of the results we have now so we want to go back and change our

answers. We may find ourselves asking the question: What could I have done differently with the 

 same tools or opportunities that I had then? Now more than ever I understand why we sometimes

think like this although it may be entirely fruitless to do so. After all we can't change the past, what is

done is done. However, it may help us to find peace with our decisions if we turn them inside out,

analyze them and determine why we made them. This could help us to make less choices that we

will regret later on.

     Getting older certainly can play some tricks on our mind. It has made me think more and more

about when I was younger. This, of course, has me questioning just about everything that I have done.

I think about whether I chose the career that was best for me. Did I let "the right one" go? Should I

have done some things sooner and some things later? What can I do to make me not have angst

about my current decisions ten or twenty years from now? The questions and thoughts become

endless when I dwell on it too much.

     So I just try to brush it all aside and tell myself that I did the best I could based on my

circumstances at those times. Maybe I am where I should be right now although I am thinking it is

not where I want to be. Things can change in an instance and things surely change over time. I'll just

look at the positives and hope for other positive things. That obviously is the best thing to do as none

of us has the power to grant ourselves the wish of going back in time and starting over.

Perseverance

"There's darkness and light, sunshine and rain. Nothing remains the same."      Life is a battle in itself. Every day we fight for or against something or even someone. As soon as  we cross one river, there's another to cross. This is why we can often feel like throwing our hands up  and just give up or give in. The light at the end of the tunnel may be taking too long to appear.  That's when we feel like it's all too much and we just can't be bothered anymore. However, when that  wave of hopelessness crashes into us, that's when we have to become a skilled survivor, ride it out  and come out on top.      We have to remember that nothing remains the same, after the darkest night, the sun still appears. When we keep on fighting that's when we get rewarded for not giving up. But we have to believe that things can change for us. When we embed hope in our heart, the light appears.  I went throug...

Companionship

                     "We can touch each other in so many ways,                  throughout the nights and the days.                  You don't have to be near,                  as our love travels through the air" I have heard more than one real life case where someone passes and they are only discovered some days  later on. This is due to the fact that they lived alone and also largely went unnoticed. So many thoughts cross my mind whenever I hear of this. You wonder who were their loved ones. Were those who cared  about them far away? The most unsettling thought is that they may not have had anyone who truly cared for  them. I recall reading an article where it detailed that the man lived alone, ate alone, slept alone, and died  alone. This was all to solidify the point that lon...
