Just Thoughts and Nothing Else

Starting Over in life I think is a difficult process.  I think that you might just start over every single day and yet you don't even realize it.  I think that sometimes when someone passes on in your life that you start over trying to make sense of the whole thing but you really are starting over without that person now in your life as well.
You may start over every time you fall in love and realize that although it may have been love, it was a different kind of love and just not the right kind of love you were looking for or one that was the never ending kind either.  You may start over when you decide to take on a new job just because the last one just wasn't going where you wanted it to go.
You may start over again when you've incurred an injury and you aren't who you once were, but you know that the person you are now, is one that is still worth it so you start over learning to be that new person.
You may be starting over once you find out that you have an illness that you can't change the outcome of and you now have to start over as the new person who has to fight the illness and/or learn to live with the illness in a way that you aren't used to living like at all.

So as you go through your starting over processes, think of the times you've just "Started Over" in your life and realize that although it may be just another process of starting over, it might just be worth it!
It might just be new and different and not always what you had hoped for, but life hands you lessons learned in so many different forms, learn to accept and just run with it.
I can't promise that it will be better than it was the day before, but a path chosen for you is a path that must be taken!  We don't always choose our paths in life, but whatever power is choosing them for us, must be a power so much greater than our own and therefore must be followed.
