I am standing alone, surrounded by long dead fields, my feet planted firmly on man-made concrete.  The path is long, winding,dark ahead, but brilliantly lit behind.  As I gaze behind me road signs signify the twists and turns in the road.  I don't want to look at them, read what they say.  My feet are struggling, trying to move forward, but lead weighs them down, ensuring that I cannot move forward. 
Pulling my hands from my tear soaked eyes, I read the signs, terrified of words, words written on wooden posts.  Forcing myself to read I realize, these signs are not the horrific things of nightmares.  As I continue to read the signs my feet slowly regain their ability to move, I am slowly backing away from the signs, my eyes glued to them.  I memorize every word, every grain in the wood.  I will never forget them, they are burned into my brain forever. 
I find myself turning away from them, walking easily along the path.  The flowers are in bloom, the sky is blue, the path is brilliantly lit by a lemon yellow sun high in the sky.  My steps quicken and I leave the path, frolicking in the flower filled fields.  The hustle and bustle I felt is gone, I have all the time in the world to cherish every scent, every feeling, every sensation of the fields and path.  Delighting in my newfound freedoms I return to the twisty road, and though I cannot see around the next bend, I know that I have come this far and can make it to the end.

**Only by facing our past and owning our mistakes can we continue down the road of life without fear and regret.  Only by owning our faults and learning from all that has hurt us can we truly be happy.**

Just a thought, don't know how much I will be on here today, may be going to visit friends, and then trick or treating.  I will miss you, If I do not go to the friends, I will return soon.  Love you all!  Have a great day!
