...The last word is another "made up" one or so I am told...

Told to let go of the past, Of this for myself in this life to last, I must shed like a snakes skin this cast, I have tried quite hard but it is not happening too fast… Scared & stressed about my future, I see others working & it ticks me off, I let a job fire me, so I could rest & relax, Now I’ve learned my lesson & still I have to pay a tax… So how does one let of the past go, How does one get past it all and grow, Still I have feelings within of woe, When will God answer my prayers & on me bestow, No remembrance of past deeds so vile & inapropos… © ed - 4/16/10

Meaningful change is rarely fast. Your tax line is top notch. Patrick

Sometimes it is easier for us to say, let go and move on. You are the only one that can make a difference in your life Ed, just know that others are there to push you along. I was asked years ago, when did I want to go in a wheelchair, my answer was NEVER and today I can do circles around my kids all because I was determined to make a difference in my life, I succeeded and so can you.

Never every have regrets. They are an emotional drain leading to pain and manifest themselves in to the physical. And emotional bankruptcy.
As the say:
Yesterday is History.
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a Gift. That's why it's called The Present.
