I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

My actions are my own and I am, singularly,
responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.

a friend with whom to share your troubles, fears, hopes, and dreams.
