Brick by Brick

Today, day 3 of my new time around... I am thankful for the past. There are many things that I feel sad or regretful from my past... There are things that made me angry and things I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy... but as I was thinking today, i realized each of these makes up my personality and made me who I am. Without all these sad and terrible moments, I would not recognize all of the wonderful and joyous things in my life. As for those memories in my past that are happy, I treasure them deeply, for they gave me the strength to go on, step by step, brick by brink... building me and shaping me into the person I am today. And I have no doubts that the things of today will be what I reflect so highly upon in days to come. The future is today; only through the examination of the past due we learn how to manipulate that future!
