“Resume” vs. “Start Over”

“Resume versus Start Over” — I am using this theme on the {various} blogs I, well, blog. (Dontcha just love multi-purpose words?!) The concept of being able to simply resume — instead of erasing the proverbial chalkboard and starting all over — is ever-revealing itself to me.

Far too often I allow myself to get stuck in the trap of believing that I must redo, reinvent, retreat … Until such time I am able to emerge with the {perfect} plan by which to proceed. This is frequently the case when my day {week, month} — which leads to me stalling-out. :-(

Fortunately, I have terrific and comforting {and wise!} friends. They remind me that journeying (sometimes wandering …) in the direction of one’s dreams in a step-by-step process. And that simply because I step off what I believe to “The Path” — all that is needed is that I step back on said path. Or {gasp!} simply create a new shortcut to the main road! ;-)

And sometimes … Well, they even remind me of where I was headed before I stalled out!

Yes. I have fabulous friends. Really. Fabulous. Friends!

To make our way, we must have firm resolve, persistence, tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up. ~Ralph Bunche
