“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.”
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
~Herman Hesse
You Are Stronger Than You Think
"You are stronger than you think, remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think."
Yes, it's good to be making some mistakes.. they remind that we are human.. and learning from them makes us super human.. isn't it.. loved your haikus.. do visit my post .. I too have put many a haiku this time..out for OSI also on the same post..
Very well said- unfortunately not many recognize this pattern. They believe in what is gone and hold onto it with all their life..!! ~*~*~ Some awards for you.. http://oliviasbiopiclog.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/enjoying-a-fall-tuesday/
Such true words here, Bing. None of us are perfect; that's what makes each of us unique. I loved these Haikus...they send such a good message out to everyone. :) heartspell
On January 25, 2005, I lost my husband. Welcome to my random thoughts about losing James and finding myself again. For in this journey called Life, "there is no such thing as a negative experience... only opportunities to grow."

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.
"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino
If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
"For I know the
plans I have for
you," declares
the Lord, "plans
to prosper you
and not to harm
you, plans to give
you hope and a
future."
Jeremiah 29:11-14

Absolutely!...I keep telling my students this "Mistakes are there to be made"...make them and learn from them!
Hi Pink Lady;
True, all your haikus mean a lot...
the few mistakes along the way make us learn;
the flaws and imperfections are a delight to your loved one; and
those li'l imperfections are what make us real...;-)
without blemish we make ourselves lovable to others...:-)
Very nice series here. I wish I could write like this. Love and Light, Sender
Pink Lady,
I enjoyed reading your lovely words.
Love and reality together. We all have some imperfections, but we learn to blend!
Best wishes,
Eileen
