This Easter brings with it a time of renewing and rebirth for me. Finally feeling done with some really hard difficult painful things in my life and starting to heal and find the light again. I love Easter... I always have, I can truly say it is my favorite holiday. I love the newness it brings, the hope it seems to instill, celebrating spring and all things new. I feel like I am new too, I know that the road isn't going to be easy, there are still alot of obstacles and scars to deal with but I feel hope now.

The thing that has been on my mind constantly lately is a line from a song that I have been listening too

"I don't regret"

I have been through alot of stuff in my life.. especially the last few years... and I finally realized that without ALL of it.. the good and the bad... I would never be where I am right now, and while it isn't where I wanted to be, or where I dreamed I would or should be... I AM here... and I have alot to be thankful for. I don't regret, because if it hadn't happened... I would have missed out on some pretty big blessings too... even though many came with a steep painful price, I don't regret them.

I do however realize the need to move on, move forward, take control and leave them behind, because even though I don't regret them, I can not stay stuck in them or what they put me through even though at times I would like to. I learned some incredibly powerful lessons, ones that have and will effect my whole life henceforth, some that I have to overcome and not let them consume me, others that I have to cling to and allow to help build me up.

I don't Regret, and so I shall move on and look forward.

Happy Easter, and New beginnings to all!
