As I approach turning 50 in nine days. I pray that God will give me the wisdom to do just that! So nice to visit your blog today via Over the Moon. I hope you have a wonderful week and may God bless you and yours in all your endeavors!

They can only harm me if I allow them to dwell there. As you mentioned, what a weight is lifted when we learn to clear our mind of this unwanted baggage.<br />Kathleen<br />Blogger's Pit Stop - the home of great posts.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559092855185240910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-20548924893173627872016-07-23T10:34:31.979+08:002016-07-23T10:34:31.979+08:00My siblings have a similar problem Lisa - regrets ...My siblings have a similar problem Lisa - regrets for the past, but instead of learning from them, they go ahead and repeat it all over again.

It's so easy to blame current crappy circumstances on what happened in the past (especially childhood) but eventually you are an adult and have the ability to NOT let the past dictate your future. Or present. I wish my siblings would figure that out.

I totally agree that the picture of what we thought it should be comes up and keeps us from living our lives that we do have. I've been thinking of going back to school in some way. One of my regrets was only getting an associate's degree. I can't change that, I can only go forward. If not now, when.

I like to remember that unfairness works both ways. If life was fair we'd all have cancer or live in a war torn country. Meanwhile I'll act the part of a normal grumbly human but try to stop and count my blessings. Posts like this help me with the latter. ❤️Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664097336440373659noreply@blogger.com
