Letting go, Appreciating, and Looking Forward

Posted on May 13, 2013 by russtowne

“Sometimes you just have to let go
of what’s gone,
appreciate what still remains
and look forward to what’s coming next.”
(Source: Lets Be Positive Together)

I’ve been there and will be again. Based on my experience, I’d say this quote is wise and true.

Love,
Russ

Once upon a time I met my soulmate and we had a wild affair. From the beginning I knew it wouldn’t last and I knew I was going for it anyway. I never regretted it. I wouldn’t change it to spare myself the pain. I am richer for the experience. Shocked? 🙂

  I don’t get shocked easily, my friend. I’m glad that you found great joy in the time you had with your soul mate, and that the gain was worth the pain of the loss that followed.
