I just emailed my best friend who has been hurt badly by her lover of 27 years and asked she read this. I hope it will help her...begin again. Beautiful, short and sweet. Very true. Glad I ran into your site.
In these feww words you have written a very deeply touching poem. This is an emotional read for me--thank you for steering me here.

The simplicity and conviction with which these few words are said, speak from a place only those who have had to start anew can understand. I know the next time I reach a dead end the lone words "Ab Initio" will come to mind.
Inspirational.
Thank you
-Also for the review of my poem and the helpful editing tips.
This resonates with my own beliefs. We are all here for a reason, to learn something, to help someone, to be better. Everything, good, bad, or indifferent is a teacher. Wonderful write.

This is what I havre done with my life but it seems like when you forgive them they turn around and do the same thing over to you. Now I just keep my disatnce from the people that choose to afflict pain on my life.
Ab Initio--from the beginning. (I had to look it up, Richard.)
What wonderful positive thoughts you've written--well worth saving and reading again.
(Do you recall that song that goes something like: "Put all your troubles in an old knapsack and throw your cares away".) Your first statement definitely fits that concept.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote, in effect: "write all your woes on a piece of paper before you go to sleep, throw it in the trashcan and start each day fresh."
Great wisdob in such a small voice
but loud and clear
like Joselyn said "a beautiful truth"
Outstanding!!
