Happy
New Year to you!
Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5
The
new year is a time when most people reflect on their past and try to plan the future.
Reflecting on the past can bring about so many mixed emotions. As I look back,
I see joy, love, guilt, hurt, anger, pain, fatigue, excitement, hope, and frustration.
When something great happens, we hope we can re-live it, but when something not
so good happens people react in diverse ways. Some people throw it away and
decide to never look back. Others analyze and plan so that it never happens
again. Some put it in a jar, and keep it within sight to remind them not to
repeat that mistake. How do you react in a situation that is not so pleasant?
Do you let go or do you frame it? What lessons have you learned from your
experiences so far?
