Reclaimed...

After writing my last post earlier today, I have felt exhausted...not at all uplifted or fulfilled...

I went in search for a way to fill my cup.
I felt raw, I still feel raw.  Not good!

I watched this little video ~ Reclaimed ~
while it doesn't exactly fit with what I shared,
it fits in another way...

I have chosen to keep my past in my past,
not because I am ashamed of it,
not because I try to hide it,
not because I wish for others to believe I have never done wrong
but because I don't feel the need to dig up any garbage.
And the life I have now pretty much rocks in comparison!
I choose to focus on the here and now.

I find that when I dig up garbage from my past, it just hurts...
I feel burdened down when I re-visit hard times and I'd rather feel happy and light and full of hope.

I think this is okay
and it makes me feel peaceful,
so that is what I will continue to do.

Not hiding, just living a life that is new and happy and one that I can be in love with!!!
