(22 NOV 2011 - The Holidays and special remembered occasions bring their own weighted burden to one's Heart – a Birthday, a Wedding, an Anniversary, a Death, a Divorce, a Thanksgiving, a Christmas, a Valentine, a ... At such Times, all of one's resources are needed, and lots of tissues, to pass through those potent memories so laden with Love and Pain. dht )
All too often, my thoughts turn backwards in Time – to where the memories assail.
Every time I come to a turn in the Pathways in my Life or a Time when the daily routine leaves my mind free to wander – my thoughts drift over the Past like a frequent visitor.
I wonder anew where my Life's Journey would have taken me if I had made different choices.
Where is the Path to Peace and Happiness? It surely cannot lie in Tomorrow, although it had its roots in Yesterday – that Path is overgrown now with the weeds of despair, pain, regrets, grief, and tears.
Surviving a prolonged state of depression causes one to shift their thinking and straddle emotional distress.
The weight of my past, my memories – is an overwhelming burden that buries my feelings in despair, pain, regrets, grief, and tears.
There is nothing like the holidays to bring back old memories of days gone by, lost loves, families estranged, loneliness, and the bittersweet memories of former Times – all past now leaving an emptiness in the Path.
The Last Chapter –
the last part of my Life's Journey.
the last part of my Life's Journey.
HOW will it be written? With despair, pain, regrets, grief, and tears, with an unending –
never-ending sameness –
never-ending sameness –
From Here-To-Tomorrow?
