There is some good and some bad in everything and we should focus on the aspect that makes our present life better and steers us on the best course for the future. I enjoy remembering the past, but I like to look at it realistically, including the fact that I can't have it back.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-79303102161519023892011-04-16T15:13:34.096-04:002011-04-16T15:13:34.096-04:00Absolutely agree with your sum up at the end of yo...Absolutely agree with your sum up at the end of your post - and I need to remember it more often :-)<br />Thanks for the nudge!<br />All best<br />Karlathe writing padhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221319693189380703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-3271378961069866772011-04-16T13:10:50.571-04:002011-04-16T13:10:50.571-04:00Being thankful for what you have now I think is so...Being thankful for what you have now I think is so important.

Why would anyone want to revisit the bad stuff? This is why nostalgia works so well. We all know we don't want to go back and do it again.

A blog friend of mine sent me this message, and I hope you like it - Please remember Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and only the present is mine. <br />LxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604785269958873474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-6794234534462592232011-04-16T08:07:51.713-04:002011-04-16T08:07:51.713-04:00I liked the message, Retired knitter.

I hate that feeling. And you're right, we should rather focus on the things we have right now than to live in memories.<br />- andrea, an A to Z participantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-39571500589362327072011-04-16T04:48:09.740-04:002011-04-16T04:48:09.740-04:00I am facing the same reality right now.
