Standing Still

No matter how great it sounds, we can’t go back. No matter how much we may want to, that bridge has burned. The past has passed for a reason. We need to accept that it is over. We can only take the lessons we’ve learned.
Now we have a choice, since we can’t change the past or return to it. We can’t get the past back and never will. So, the decision that we have to make is Will we move on into the future, or will we simply stand still?
I, for one, will go forward with my life. I have decided that, somewhere ahead, there is something better to find. Because, if we just stand there and stare at what’s dead and gone, we will surely lose our mind.
The thing we fail to notice at times is that, no matter how amazing the past was, the future is better. The past, sadly, is occupied only with our memories, and it’s our prison. Only in the future can we all be free.
Ed Steeves – Survivor
It’s OK to take some time to reflect – to forgive and move on. I’ve finally given up on all that’s there in the past.
But remember that life is still alive in the future, and we are never certain how long it will last.
Thank you, Ed Steeves.

Jessica, how sweet of you to say that! Sometimes it feels like I am working in a vacuum, but it has to be done. So when I hear kind words such as yours, it makes me smile.
