So I ain't where I want to be situation wise. And I reflect too much, and live with "if only"s and wondering when and where my "Happy ever after" will be. But reading this topic tells me I aint alone.
Looking back has some benifits - and hopefully there are good bits as well as bad. The bad bits should be filed as "experience", but not as things to beat your self up over - I should listen to my own words! And the good bits should be treasured.
But the bottom line is: the way to look is forward. Yes there will be bad bits, but there will also be good, and, if Christmas and New Year is for you, like me, a time of Bah Humbug, then I hope it is a time you can also look forward, and look forward to the good bits that WILL be there - no matter how small they are.
So best wishes for 2012.
