I have been re-reading some of my blogs on SparkPeople before I delete them in preparation for moving on. Some of them will be saved here, just because I don't want to print them out (ink is so expensive) and because when I read the words (whenever) they might be helpful. I suppose Beginning Again is appropriate after SparkPeople.
Begin Again

I did not write this. I came across it this morning when I was looking through motivational things I have collected.
BEGIN AGAIN
One of the best things we can do in our lives is this: Begin again.
Begin to see yourself as you were when you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.
Begin to remember what worked for you (and what worked against you), and try to capture the magic again.
Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child - to live a lifetime each day.
Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you for years:
the problems that don't matter anymore,
the tears that cried themselves away,
and the worries that are going to wash away on the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.
Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
and if we will be wise, we will turn away from the problems of the past and give the future - and ourselves - a chance to become the best of friends.
Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself...BEGIN AGAIN.
So beautiful. "the tears that cried themselves away/and the worries that are going to wash away on the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings."
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling my way through this platform. I'm looking forward to re-connecting with my Spark Friends.
Are all these posts from Spark? Or is it a mix?
Lately, I have been saving blogs from Spark but eventually, I will get back to my regular writing. If you go back far enough they are not from Spark. Some things I saved because of pictures that I'm not sure I have anywhere else. Some things are events I had forgotten about and since I didn't write about them anywhere else, they are now here. I wish I could have inserted them in the proper order or that I had opened a page just for Spark memories but I didn't think of that until I had already moved too many to start over.
