Day 3/365
Starting over
It’s day 3 of my 365-day writing challenge, and my witty_pen is already groaning, “Ugh, starting over again?”. Well, I can hear you groaning. Believe me, I get it. I know what it feels like when the world hits the reset button on you. It’s like someone sneaks up to your Scrabble board just when you’re about to win, flips it over, and says, “Oops, try again!”
But hey, my body, my buddy, let me tell you something. Starting over isn’t punishment. It’s rejuvenation. Life gives us another chance to pick things up from where we left them and improve them.

My buddy, I hear you still grumbling, “Do you remember how we didn’t check off everything on last year’s to-do list?” Yeah, I remember, but I also ask, “Did we survive? Did we learn? Did we laugh at least once?” If you answered yes to any of those, we’re already winning.
My body, my buddy, starting over isn’t about erasing our story; it’s about adding new chapters. And who doesn’t love a good comeback story?
Come on, body, we can do this.
