I can't do it to you and I can't do it to me.
Those ten years were simply a loop of everything prior. History does have a way of repeating itself, unless change is initiated. If nothing changes, nothing changes.
The pain. The failure's. The pipe dreams. Struggling. Staying dry and getting wet. One last bad marriage and another disappointed little girl...no need to go through it any more.
It would be repetitive, and I'm afraid, boring because of it.
When I began this blog, I had no idea any one would read it, but I was writing more for me than for an audience. I needed to come to a place of peace with my past, so throwing it all out into the universe was one avenue of healing. More work needs to be done, but what I set out to do has been accomplished.
My today is better than any time in my life. My "now" I would not trade for any ten years I ever had. I am viewing the world through a "new pair of glasses" (thanks Chuck) and I know from where the blessings and changes stem.
I have been blessed by those of you who have read any of this blog, much less all of it, and I thank you. I will continue to post, but from now on it simply be a daily journal, while I begin working on the material contained within for publication as a book.
It's been promised to a few of us that "we will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it." For me that promise has come true.
I am at peace.
At last...

Dear Geoff,
I am impressed with your desire to become more present focused with the blog. The blog was strong medicine for you and the regimen was complete I think you are saying. Nice.
Congratulations for being flexible and open minded enough to switch horses when the old horse is ragged.
