Anew

Regret.

That's what I felt one night as I recalled the things that occurred earlier that day.  I should have done this.  I could have said that.

But can I still go back in time and change what happened?

No.

Thankfully, I can start anew and look forward to a new morning.

I'm glad I can look back and learn from the past.

I'm glad I can keep going.

As I got up from bed this morning, I said a short prayer of gratitude for the gift of life.  For God's countless blessings no matter how many times I falter.  For another chance to be happy.

I know that He has wrapped a wonderful blessing for me in each moment of my day.

And I surely don't want to miss any of it!
