About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

The Meaning of Making a Fresh Start
Prompt: What does making a fresh start mean to you?

=====

Fresh start has to do with the stuff we may be upset about or it has to do with dealing with our own regretful actions in a situation.

As I wrote earlier somewhere in this blog, at one point in my life, I decided to let go of regrets whether they had to do with the road not taken or the road taken. Since I am human, I am liable to regret both my actions and my inactions, but what does that serve? Nothing and no one.

Thus, no spilled milk for me. The only thing I can focus on is the lesson learned and the hope for the right mindset in the future.

For that end, I concentrate on becoming immersed in what I do without ruminating on regrets and beating on myself, so I can find a good amount of meaning in my days and a sense of satisfaction with life. This, I think is making a fresh start.

A fresh start may also happen when, to no fault of our own, someone hurts or disappoints us. In such a case, it is a good idea to let go of feelings of being unjustly treated and move on to greener pastures with other people. This, too, I consider a fresh start.
