Onward or forward?

Confusing, as always. Well, at least you know how I feel. Confused that is. But confusing would also sort of portray....ummm......me? Hmmmm.....

I'm trying very hard to move on with my life. & alhamdulillah, I have much to be thankful for. I have a great (but hectic!) job, I can afford a comfortable car now, my dad's remarried & is taken care of, my cousin who had been in so much difficulty is now so much better and well, the list goes on and on.

But the one thing I want & need so very badly, I cannot have anymore. Perhaps for now. Perhaps.

So I'm trying to move onward. Question is: Should I be moving forward? If I remember one quote (which I can't track on the Net) correctly, it goes a lil' like:

'Only a fool would call moving forward as progress when you're at the edge of a cliff.'

I don't remember where I got it from or who actually said it, but it sure hits me right on the nose.
