Let your mistakes be a comma, and not a period.
~ Author Unknown

For those of us who could use a quick refresher course in
Punctuation, a comma is used to either set off some element of the
Sentence from what preceded it, or followed it, or both, or it's
Used to separate two elements the same way a pause or rise in voice
Inflection would separate the words when speaking.

A period, on the other hand, means the end. Period.

For those of us who could use a life course refresher, a mistake
Situates itself between what precedes it and what follows it. It's
A pause, a chance for us to change the tone of our life, and a
Perfect reminder that the time has come to bring our lives back
Into alignment. Just as a comma is a tool for making the written
Word easier for us to understand, so is a mistake a learning tool
We can use to change the direction our life has taken.

A mistake is never a period. Unless we choose to see it that way.

May all your mistakes be commas in the story of the life you
Are creating.
