usually at this time of year
we cast our gaze out forward
considering the turning of the wheel
a chance to start once more
to change those many annoying faults
to change ourselves from what was
to what we think we ought.
remember as we move forward
in this strange, wonderful life dance:
“there are no mistakes, only variations
some are intentional, some are not”
you are exactly where you are
supposed to be on your path.
so treat yourself with some tenderness
and then give some away, too.
the world can be harsh sometimes
loving each other softens the edges.

Loving each other certainly does soften the edges! It’s interesting to think that there are no mistakes. Everything does happen for a reason, for sure.

and we need to start with loving ourselves, I think. ♥

I found this very comforting. We are exactly where we’re supposed to be. We’re not back at the starting line just because the calendar turned over again. We are right here, right now. Yes!
