Sifting Through The Rubble

     Past relationships are unfortunately a standard experience. It is painful and destructive and leaves us wandering in search of whatever can get us through. I am not immune to this. Hurt has been part of my life and as I move through my days I often stop and pause and feel the bile of panic trying to fill my senses.
     Born an optimist by nature I look for the silver lining, the just beyond my grasp promise of hope and happiness. Why not after all...It has to be a possible thing otherwise no one would ever move on. For the most part being the kind of person I am , I make an effort to always pick myself up a move forward no matter how hard that might be.
     Recently I have found a silver lining in my days. I believe I have found someone with whom I can let myself love again. It is fresh and new and I am giving it my all. I can be over zealous and maybe I ask more than the other can give right now but just the knowledge that I have gotten to that place again where my heart is free to love again is a big step. I am hopeful that this new beginning will turn into my future happiness. We all have to go through those doors when the times come. I have chosen to embrace to odds again. Do I know what is right for others? no. Do I expect others to know when is right for them? no. I just know for me time has mended my wounds and given me strength to try again. I hope and pray that I have found my happy place.
