Memory Lane

I spent some time last evening taking a walk down that familiar path....

When I created this blog slightly over four years ago, I had no idea where it would go or better articulated: where it would take me.

 It has been a journey, these past four years. I have learned a great deal about myself and about others. Life has a way of teaching us lessons we are apt never to forget! Sometimes I think getting hit by a train might have been easier and far less painful! But alas....I survived. For that is what I am to my very core....a survivor!

However, I don't always want to be a "survivor". I want to embrace my life and those in it. I have had a difficult time doing that in recent years. I miss the feeling of true joy, of being passionate about something, anything!

Existing within my existence has become the norm. Meandering through the words I have written over the years brought feelings of melancholy and yet spread smiles across my face.

Regrets? Often too many to count! Gratitudes? By far outweigh the regrets....there has been so much more good than bad! It is time to focus on those things!

Windows close, doors open...
Endings bring beginnings...
