Glow On

Time is the test of our lives. How we face today, lets us live for tomorrow. Too often do we dwell on the past, what has happened, how it happend why it happened. It happened. It was. It is only useful if it lets us live happier today, if it pulls us back and down into a painful well of sorrow then it does so because we let it. A painful past is like record stuck in its’ scratched groove (I am showing my age), it repeats the same mantra over and over driving us to madness.
Every moment when I begin to slip back, I have to pull myself up and scream, enough is enough. Focus on what I have today, what is good, what is love, what brings me up, what fills my soul with the essence of who I really am. When I can see all those things, I can face the day with no regrets from the past and shine my brightness on others so they can glow in the warmth I have to share.
