out messages to The Universe seeking forgiveness for any harm I may have done to someone else. Why didn't I do this or why didn't I do that? I could have/should have...Then one day I decided that I am not going to allow the rest of my life to be consumed by the past. It is not easy but I truly believe that I am stronger than anything THIS world can throw at me.

Hugs, my fellow traveler.

That is tough. I wish I had some words of wisdom but I don't. I do think that verbalizing helps so fire away. LoisB Oct 10 #3
