do not keep reliving the past. Move on

 

 Chapters of Life

.
You must learn to do what you can
With what you have to take care of problems
and then you must realize that you can't 
start the next chapter of your life
if you keep re-reading your last one.
.
It is hard at first to put things away
Things that you have had to work through
To the place you are at now but
We all must do just that
.
Each day we have to make another page 
and each day strive to make our life better
than it was the day before.
.
None of us can go back and change what happened
But we can change our future
It takes courage and a strong will to survive
To be able to say "no!" and mean it 
And move on to a better way of living.
.
Each day start a new page and try to 
make  changes to better your life.
Even if they are small ones at first. 
Every one counts...
.

Yep, I know you are right, but sometimes the past has left such a deep scar on you that it is impossible for you to not recognize it when it comes calling.

You offer good advice within your verses here, Kathi. Sadly, it is not always easy to "let go." Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you,
