I am wondering -- how many others out there spend time ruminating about times past and friendships gone by the wayside. I am heavily a facebook fanatic -- approaching the need for a 12 step program! I have connected with others in a way I thought not possible, have been able to renew acquaintances, and even made some new friends, At the same time, I think about how I could be in a better place right now if I hadn't given up the chances that slipped so easily through my fingers.
But each day is a new chance, but I don't seem able to get past the cloud that I am under. I am having a problem putting all of the baggage behind me. Perhaps that is the wrong thing. Perhaps the problem is not putting things behind me, but looking only at today and what I can accomplish on this day. Shaking loose the baggage that often seems to swell over me is difficult, as is facing each new day as an opportunity to use. Lesson : more opportunity - old baggage = unending possibilities.
