I am at a crossroads of two streets as many of you are.  I'm tempted to go down the same one I've walked for 15 years... .it's a habit.  I know that street.  It's full of bomb-holes where landmines have gone off after I step on the triggers.  I've learned to walk around most of the old holes... .but I can't stop stepping on the seemingly unlimited triggers dammit!  I think its best to get off this roller coaster path of up/down as I go in and out of these holes, it has made me sick.  I need to be well. It's time to walk down a new street.

I read this when I'm temped to recycle.  It has been helpful to me and I want to pass it along.

If others have something similar, please share it here.



Chapter I[/b]

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost... .I am hopeless.

It isn't my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don't see it.

I fall in again.

I can't believe I am in this same place.

But it isn't my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter III

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it there.

I still fall in... .it's a habit... .but,

my eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

Chapter IV

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

Chapter V

I walk down another street.

Chapter VI

She starts walking down that street and acts like her running into me is an accident.

Thank you so much for this. This should be framed.

YES!
