Yeah, the good old days for me are what they are. But at this stage in my life, I am happy to leave them in the past. All the good, the bad and the ugly. All the triumphs and mistakes alike.
Mistakes.
I’ve made my share. Haven’t you?
I think it’s understandable because none of us have done this before. It’s all new.
All brand new.
Each day, each step.
And because we are experiencing a lifetime of firsts, we are in a constant state of learning.
Like students, life students.
And students are not masters. They make mistakes.
But we’re all doing our best because that’s what good students do.
We might have to do a few re-do’s or retake a test or two.
Give yourself a break. Relax. Be kind to YOU.
You’re doing your best.
Keep learning.
It’s all useful on your life journey.

The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing.” ~Abraham Lincoln
“There’s no passion to be found playing small — in settling for a life that is less than you are capable of living.”~Nelson Mandela
I discovered a lovely surprise when I discovered how unlonely being alone could be. As I get older I am more and more comfortable with being alone. Being alone does not reflect whether or not I am loveable. It doesn’t … Continue reading
Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things – with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope. ~Corazon Aquina If you don’t want the … Continue reading
It’s raining and cold this morning. The kind of cold that causes shivers right down to the bone. I’m tired from an exhausting week of work yet the weekend of looming celebrations is swirling around in my head. This weekend is … Continue reading
