I’ve sometimes made the same mistake twice, though!

Ok, so gotta admit…I’m surprised it took that many comments for someone to say that. HA. 😉 Thanks for your friendship…you are such a blessing. Maybe we can squeeze in some coffee and a chat sometime soon? (((hugs)))

Tam, I remind myself of that a lot…the fact that each piece of the journey has shaped me. I’m thankful for all of those twists and turns God has allowed in order to bring me to the place I am. Blessings and hope you’re having a great week, friend!

It’s definitely important to remember the past in one sense, especially as we learn and grow, and hopefully don’t make the same mistakes twice.

Yet as the apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians, it’s also important not to dwell on the past and mistakes we’ve made, like you said. “I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”

Being the mother of a ten year old girl, I can’t imagine trying to get her to NOT be impacted by a friend’s death at this age. Definitely a life-changing moment for you, and even with your tears and sweaty palms, it is probably a good thing for you to (literally) run through/past that fear every so often.
On a totally different note, the baseball knockout explains alot. HAHA! You know I am just kidding! ILY!

It’s not so easy shutting the door on the past. I try to remember my past has shaped the woman I am today and I quite like the woman I am today. I’d have me as a friend if I weren’t me. In Buddhism, despite all the stuff about reincarnation and karma and whatnot, the present is what is given importance. It’s the only ‘reality’ that exists right now that you can transform.
