Picture is worth a thousand words

I never knew how true that saying was.  Until now.  Or...maybe...a thousand emotions.  When I pick up some photos, they jolt me.  I remember how I felt, what was happening.  How I wished it was and how stressed I was.  A simple photo can totally throw me into a panic feeling.  Shallow breathing.  Fear. 
But, beyond that, I have to say that today I realized how free I am..free to think...to do....to accomplish...to hope....to make do....to encourage.  And though the past can still cause pain....it doesn't rule my days.
I get to choose.  And that is a very good thing.
blessings.
