Nothing Wasted

[MajestyJo]

Forgiveness isn't about others, it is what I need to do for myself. Time is wasted if I carry all those thoughts and feeling into today and take time to worry, fret, and allow them to rent space in my head. It makes no room for today.

My past isn't wasted, it helped me to get to where I am in today, that includes earlier years in recovery. Sure didn't do it all right the first time. I look at it as a learning process, and my past I can share with others, with the hope that I can help them by sharing what worked for me.

As my friend use to say, "Don't take just what you need and put it on the shelf. Take it even if you don't need it to pass onto others." I found that my shelf got full and very dusty, and had to clear it off and dust it, not one of my favourite things to do. To top it off, I am allergic to dust, so why should I let it gather.
