Yes indeed, every new start draws greatly upon your strength. but i guess, that people do that, since that is the difference between living & existing!<BR/><BR/>The HEA are a myth. The Grimms & The Andersons are to be blamed for that! they condition the mind of humans since childhood to believe in HEA!<BR/>This makes it harder for them to accept reality later in their lives.<BR/><BR/>You can give second chances, but I would not recommend a third or a fourth! Only a second chance is enough to tell you if the person or an act concerned is really a change for the better or not.Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-2137598018758183482008-08-22T09:28:00.000-04:002008-08-22T09:28:00.000-04:00Excellent blog, Cindy.

I was only thinking about the romantic second chance at the beginning of the week, but there are so many types.<BR/><BR/>In my case, I got a second chance at my day job. I was promoted to manager of my department years ago. Then I was demoted. How demoralizing. I stayed only because I found nothing that payed better and eventually I fell into a routine. Then eventually I gave up being ambivalent and started caring about the job again. Then, to my huge surprise, I was promoted again to manager. I never expected that in a million years. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy. I figured I'd have to move, start all over, and take a chance somewhere else to move up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-45485894254467570182008-08-21T17:03:00.000-04:002008-08-21T17:03:00.000-04:00Oh, yeah... the idea of starting over scares the h...Oh, yeah... the idea of starting over scares the hell out of me.

He's good with nightmares. LOL<BR/><BR/>I honestly admire people who are tough enough to reach out for the second time and grab that chance. Don't know if I could do it.<BR/><BR/>Excellent post!Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.com
