55/365: I think it’s time to repaint

So, Dear Readers, I’m going through A LOT right now, a good bit of which I can’t write about, but trust me, I want to. A couple of things are subjects I can write about, but I’m waiting for the right time.

A few months ago I wrote about hate and hey, I need to hate sometimes. But after today it’s time to let it go. I will not let hate define me because it only hurts me. And the same with forgiveness. Choosing to forgive isn’t for the other person or people, it’s for your spirit, your soul.

And maybe it’s as simple as sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you, but there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss you. But I’m choosing not to hate.

As usual, there’s a song for that. I was going to pick “Both Sides Now,” which I love, but it makes me ugly cry. Then I remembered a song about rough times and going on. It’s Ingrid Michaelson, whom my Dear Readers know I love to death. The is song is about choosing to repaint. I think that’s a good way to think about it. NOT moving on because do we really move on? But repainting. That’s what I’m doing.
