Before you can apply new paint to an old piece of furniture, you have to sand down the wood. It requires a bit of friction to get down to the fresh wood that lies just below the surface. It is often this way when you are starting out fresh with something, as you may be doing now, Libra. It will take a bit of extra work to work your way down to a new beginning. You will have to face a harsh truth and scrub it away just by acknowledging it. But once you free yourself from it, your "new coat of paint" will bring new life and new opportunities.
