Fall is here. I am always excited in the fall. It reminds me of school and fresh starts. A time to let go of the past and look to the future. A chance to do things differently, better. I know that I need to keep my expectations realistic though and not fall into the trap of discarding my past as if it was all a waste of time. Self-forgiveness is key; remember we are allowed to make mistakes,....... always. Black and white thinking can be tempting but unhealthy. It promises us easy answers. Easy answers are tempting in a world that is so complicated but we need to avoid them. Life is always changing and there is a process to it. Our job is to adapt to it and learn what we can. Stay humble. |
