    Stepping over Our Wounds

    Sometimes we have to "step over" our anger, our jealousy, or our feelings of rejection and move on. The temptation is to get stuck in our negative emotions, poking around in them as if we belong there. Then we become the "offended one," "the forgotten one," or the "discarded one." Yes, we can get attached to these negative identities and even take morbid pleasure in them. It might be good to have a look at these dark feelings and explore where they come from, but there comes a moment to step over them, leave them behind and travel on.

    "I just don't understand how someone can completely abandon hope. I woke up everyday for 40 years with hope that something good would happen to me that day. For 40 years, nothing good happened to me. And then one day, something did happen and it made every second of those 40 years worth it."

    - With tears in her eyes after I told her one of my friends (whom she'd never met) committed suicide. My dear sweet Grandma .(R.I.P.)

    She changed my life. I wish she could see me now.

    "We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives.not looking for flaws, but for potential."

    :heart: As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
    probably will.

    :heart: You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

    :heart: You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

    :heart: You'll fight with your best friend.

    :heart: You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

    :heart: You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

    :heart: So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt
    because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

    Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.
    M. Scott Peck

    When people show you who they are Believe Them!
    Maya Angelou

    “Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.”
    M. Scott Peck

    “There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.”

    "Who decides? Whether repentance is indeed repentance? Or whether it is fear or greed or hate masquerading as repentance? Must we? In fact we do because we must. No doubt in the end only God knows all, and we may forgive a hypocrite or reject a penitent. The danger of the last is the greater."

    The steeper the mountain the harder the climb
    the better the view from the finishing line
    Anonymous

    When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
    When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns,
    And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow--You may succeed with another blow,
    Success is failure turned inside out--The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far;
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
    Unknown
