In Retrospect…
This is the time when everyone seems to be doing a look back over the events of the almost-past year, recapping the highlights. I have a really tough time doing this! I am just not wired for remembering the past with any great detail. I tend to live in the present and anticipate the future, but never dwell much on the past. I joked to my daughter tonight that if I ever get Alzheimers I am going to be in big trouble; if I can’t remember the present AND the past, where does that leave me? In some kind of limbo?To be honest, forgetting the past is really a huge blessing in a lot of ways. I don’t hold grudges, I just keep moving forward. I honestly have no interest in birthdays, and I take note of milestones when they happen, but I can’t remember them after they’re past. All we have is now, no matter how much we try to remember the past or plan the future. Today is all there is. And I kind of like it that way. So happy today!
