Katie's prayer: Addison Road's "Start Over Again"

Cause you can’t change what you’ve done
But you can choose who you’ll become
Every moment is a second chance
At starting over, at starting over


1. It’s impossible to go into the past and relive any moment. 2. It’s never too late to start over.

I’ve figured out my problem. Well, one of them. I focus too much on number 1, sometimes hoping I could reverse that fact. I don’t focus enough on number 2, sometimes believing that it’s completely untrue. There’s been a few items recently where I’ve done stuff or failed to do stuff and have kicked myself in the pants. Sometimes for days and days afterwards. Yesterday was one of those days, and I’ve been kicking myself all day today. Thinking about how if I got put in that moment again, how I’d do things differently this time and things would turn out better. But the fact is, I can’t go back and change it. But I can move on. I can try to be better in the future. I can focus my energies on doing better instead of hoping and praying to have a groundhog day moment.
