We make choices. Some are good, some are okay, and others are just plain bad. It’s the bad ones that hurt us and sometimes kill us, but ultimately acceptance must be made. We must accept responsibility for our choices, good or bad. We may turn to people, our Simons, for help, for words of wisdom, for support or love, but we must cope. We must find a positive way to deal otherwise we will continue falling, deeper and deeper. It hurts, but we must motivate ourselves to move forward and grow from our mistakes. Take in the support, breath it in, and open up to release your sorrows, for when you do you will be relieved and strengthened.

Lord, you are kind and forgiving,
most loving to all who call on you.
LORD, hear my prayer;
listen to my cry for help.
In this time of trouble I call,
for you will answer me.
