Open All Doors

Dear Secret Mind Bloggles,

A sad heart is also an open one.  Don't you think?  Like a door.  My heart was sad for many moons.  And still finds itself in sorry places from time to time, it's true.  But it's come a long way over the years.  And I'm very grateful for that.

People come and people go, some are helpful, some are hard to understand.  Some leave scars and some leave happy memories you will never forget to remember.  They're all important, in their special ways.  And that's something I've come to realise.

You can learn from your own mistakes and heartache as well as your better times and dreams; and you can learn from those of others.

It's important to let go of your pain from the past.  Because without doing so, you hold yourself from moving forward into your future.  The one you're entitled to.  The one that's going to allow you to look back and smile.  The one that's going to help you to step even closer to the places you actually imagined you'd find yourself in, rather than the ones you always felt would suit you . . . in the end.

Which leads me to me you see, because I'm about to take the first few steps into my own future.  But if it wasn't for the help I've had along the way, from those who didn't realise it at the time, from those who have inspired and encouraged me, endlessly, and those who have caused me tears.  I wouldn't be where I am right now.

And while I can't help but be a little frightened by the unknown, I'm pretty much being blinded by the fire at the end of the tunnel.  In fact, I'm almost ready to crack open the marshmallows!

We're ALL getting warmer.
