keep going

keep going.  don't stop.
don't quit believing.
you are healing.
it always hurts
to heal.

it's easy to want to hide.
to want to give up.
to quit.
to go back to what was.
but courage means getting
to live a new and abundant life.
be brave.

you can't change the LAST chapter.
only this chapter.
and the following chapters.
but it's so tempting to look back
and want it to be different.
to want the past to have been different
rather than making sure that this present
becomes a much more
wonderful past to look
back on.
create a new past
by making a new present.
because tomorrow,
today will be in the past.

blessings.
