They Say Don't Blink, But That Guy Shut His Eyes and Never Looked Back

You can't force someone to be different or better for you or anyone else. You can't change the past or the person. You can chose anger and disappointment if your hopes for someone don't pan out, but it's so much better for your heart to accept things you don't understand or like as reality and be happy that you grew just by seeing things as they are. You grew, you learned something new, you are a better person for offering forgiveness and moving on. It's hard when your children look to you for answers you don't have, but everyone will be ok if you're ok. Feel everything, the good, the bad, the ugly, but then set it down somehow (I write about it) so that you can smile and laugh with joy you can only feel without the weight of the negative behind your breast.
