Re-reading

I was writing another blog tonight and then I read a post about re-reading the last chapter and the thought came to me that its almost like history; we need to know it but we don't have to repeat it. Telling the "what" of your story means you're still searching for "why" and we don't understand that we can't ever answer why for another person's actions or decisions because we have no control, zilch, zero, nada CONTROL over why other people do what they do.

Now here is the fun part we do have CONTROL over US!! Meaning we only have to hurt as long as we allow the events to replay in our minds or as Oprah likes to say "until we give up hope that things could have been different." We can choose not only to stop re-reading the last chapter, sometimes going to the next chapter isn't going far enough. We might want to pick up an entirely different book and change the subject all together. Don't get stuck turning the same pages, your fingers hold more power. Pick up the pen or pencil and write your own story, its more interesting than re-reading yesterday's pain.
