Starting over again...

Isn't it bittersweet? ... this idea of a new beginning, so much hope, yet so many regrets. They have been constant, beloved, hateful companions of all of us. The regrets and the time lost and the wishes of wanting to go back and change just a few decisions, these come with the start over. Knowing the fools we have been and the opportunities missed are almost too much to bear sometimes. The sweetness comes in being made conscious of the fact we are making a mistake. That little voice calls out and says, " There isn't something quite right about this." In light of the voice we are faced with a decision to follow the voice's leading or continue on the path. Some choose to ignore it, choosing to remain on the path chosen, for the cost is too high for them. Some want to change, but when faced with the hard choices of changing, choose the same old path, fearing the unknown. Some however choose to believe the voice's warning and follow. These few are the blessed ones, for these experience the sweetness of knowing they were... stupid and can now change that pattern. I hope to be the one who knows how stupid I truly am!!!
