I ain’t looking back
January 1, 2008
As I travel through life, there are always those times when decisions just have to be made even when the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak my parade.
There are some situations where all I can do is to simply let go and move on, gather courage together and choose a direction that carries me toward a new dawn.
So I pack up my troubles and take a step forward- the process of change can be tough but I think about all the excitement ahead if I can be stalwart enough.
There could be adventures I never imagined.. just waiting around the next bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways I can’t yet comprehend.
Perhaps I’ll find friendships that spring from new interests as I challenge my status quo and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways I can grow.
Perhaps I’ll go places I never expected and see things that I’ve never seen or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between.
Perhaps I’ll find warmth and affection and caring- a “somebody special” who’s there to help me stayed centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings I share.
Perhaps I’ll find comfort in knowing my friends are supportive of all that I do and believe that whatever decisions I make, they’ll be the right choices for me.
So I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take my life day by day.
I ain’t reflecting on the days of my life in 2007. I’ve simply decided that I ain’t looking back…

Ain’t no mountain high enough..
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you…
To a Happy, Prosperous Happy New Year of 2008!
It may only be song lyrics but I’m very glad to know that, LB. *hugs*

Have a fantastic 2008, Jems! It’s true, there’s no point looking back now. All we must do is concentrate on what happens tomorrow. But don’t get too caught up in the daily grind yea? Sometimes we do have to take two steps back and slow down – we’re only human. 🙂
Thanks for the reminder, Vern.

You are right Jem. Do not look back. Last year had been hard on you but you are still standing. You are still going strong.
This is a new year and you have the chance to start afresh. Take every opportunity and make wonderful achievements 🙂
