Some days are Sunny, others are a B*tch

Prompt: “All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.”
― Shannon L. Alder
Is starting over always starting in the dark?


This may sound strange but starting over is almost impossible for anyone that is an adult. Our decisions are always informed by our past experiences. Even if you are a recovering addict, you are always one pill or drink away from addiction all over again.

I believe going into a new relationship, a new job, whatever is new to you is a continuation of your life. Hopefully it is ore like a sunrise of hope than beginning in the dark. Maybe this prompt is just meant as a poetic saying. I realize the author is an inspirational speaker/writer and member of LDS church.

Maybe I am inferring that the dark is a “bad” thing. I overthink everything. All I know is when I went into my 2nd marriage, I brought along all my baggage from the first one. It is a growing experience, where you use what worked for you and hopefully, you learn to change what did not. Life is a huge learning experience and by the time you are really good at it, you are old, wrinkled and beginning to lose your memory. Such is life.

Life would be very boring if we did not grow and change,
