Reflections on healing, hope, and looking forward.
Healing is a life process, and it's in that healing that we discover honesty, courage, and faith. The pain of the past does not have to curse the brightness of tomorrow. Every moment affords us the opportunity of starting afresh, mending our hearts, and creating a life full of purpose and joy. These thoughts, below, take us deeper into their meanings in our quest for healing and growth.
1. "Healing begins when we stop pretending we are not hurt."
- Anonymous
It requires a recognition of wounds for true healing to begin. Pretending to be unhurt adds to the scar tissue, so why should we not learn to face our own feelings and understand that we are having difficulty with emotions? Because this is usually compromise, or at least the first part of it. The door that is opened allowing us to feel and process our pain becomes the path to genuine healing-in this case-recognizing the situation and even being able to practice private compassion with self.

Each day is a new beginning; it is the opportunity to make choices leading towards the kind of living we want to live. Focusing on the present and acting can break those chains and mold tomorrows full of promise.
