A New Beginning

I am beginning a journey, that I cautiously hope turns out well.  Everyone has heard 'forgive and forget', and how bad it is to carry a grudge.  Now, I'm a pretty good grudge carrier, and feeling very 'once bitten, twice shy'.  However, I am also hoping that what I am trying to salvage was true, and that in the long run, I will look back at it as a bump in the road.  Maybe I'm just a sucker.  I almost always look for the best in people, and never think of the bad stuff first.  I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.  Only time will tell, and I really hope they work out positively.  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  So here goes, wish me luck!
