get on with living...or get on with dying

Scott Williams with another great post:

there comes a time when the most heinous hurts need to be forgiven. there comes a time to say goodbye to the people and the pain that have kept us in slavery for years. i'm thinking of the quote in "shawshank redemption" where the inmate says, "it's was time to get on with living, or get on with dying." it's true. the pain and the anger and the hurt and the violation of a lifetime someday will force us to act. to get on with living... or get on with dying.

I read Scott's post last night, and it really made an impression on me, especially considering my circumstances. Still chewing on it, - there is a lot of good meat there. I would love to say that I have fully and completely made the choice "to get on with living," but there is still work to be done!

Aaaww, gee! You've made me blush! In all honesty, and all jesting aside, it is I who am grateful for the awesome family - including in-laws - with whom I have been blessed. Your love and acceptance of me, (warts and all,) have made my journey so much easier.
