Out of Darkness

As we recover from depression, we must let go of the past–memories, places, even people–and move on to new experiences.  The past must be put to rest so we can make room for today and tomorrow.  Recovery offers us a new way of being.  With each new experience, each new day gives us a chance for growth.  I can learn to accept the pain of the present in order to appreciate the pleasures of the future.
