Recurring arguments. Misunderstandings. Disappointments…

The clamour of breaking hearts and thumping of bruised egos break the silence of each sleepless night.

Then comes the waking sun whose rays reach out to bring promises of new opportunities. The morning breeze ushering in a fresh start.

Another beginning to right all wrongs and exercise one’s gift of healing. A chance to nurse,  giving comfort and reassurance, to the hurting.

A new day to share with that one person who, with you, learns to forgive with reason and to love without limit. That partner who would never leave your side and would never want to cause you pain again.

Know your threshold and identify who deserves your everything. Keep in mind that no one is perfect but at the same time, that you are special enough not to merely settle. Re-connect with your heart’s desires. Evaluate and re-evaluate.

But once you pardon mistakes and shortcomings, do so completely. Let go of the anger, resentment, and hurt. It is only then that you will have room for a deeper, renewed, and more meaningful sense of love and happiness. Recognize the good things around you and bathe in the light of a refreshing crack of dawn.
