Burning Bridges...
I woke up this morning at 4:30 and I had been crying in my sleep. I hadn't done that for two years, since Leo killed himself. I got up and started the coffee and clicked onto Ms. Creek's blog. Her recent post about having regrets struck a chord with me.
I don't know if it is because I am alone or because it's the season to be jolly and I am not at this moment but I also have regrets.
I regret making my daughter upset Saturday and not having the right words to calm her and make things right. I regret not having made the right choices in my life that have caused her pain. I regret that I was taught that I was never going to be good enough and believing it, caused me to make many stupid decisions and mistakes.
The choices of the past are gone and I can't make everything right but I can choose to make good decisions now, decisions that are healthy for me.
With that in mind, I am burning the bridges that take me back to the road of dispair, bad choices and regrets and am moving forward on my life path of health and happiness.

The future is always ahead of you. Not much point in dwelling on the past.
