Sitting here feeling so nostalgic… And smiling in reminisce of some of my past experiences and episodes of my life…
No matter how sad and how much agony I felt at the time of the end of these experiences… All the tears shed… All the sorrow felt..
After it’s past…. I realize how very happy I am to have had that experience.. I can close my eyes… And go back and relive every moment it gives me the profound joy I felt…and I can hardly remember the end…
And I smile because I was given the precious gift to have enjoyed that moment in time…
I don’t have regrets of my past events… ( I don’t call them mistakes) … I considered them a valid lesson… I remember and relive them all.. With gratitude… And think of how very happy I was during the good times….
I know we are advised to leave the past behind… I agree to the things that cause anguish.. And pain.. But… The happiest times… Those moments that brings joy.. Laughter… Gives pleasures…is worth taking with you.. It’s worth remembering…
When I experienced times like these I savor every moment.. I create a memory… So I can go back and relive..
I write a short story about that special time… Capturing every little thing that makes it so very special….
- …..MEMORIES….LIGHT THE CORNERS OF My MIND…MISTY, WATER COLORED MEMORIES…. OF THE WAY WE WERE…
- SCATTERED PICTURES Of The SMILE WE LEFT BEHIND… SMILE WE GAVE TO ONE ANOTHER OF THE WAY WE WERE…
MEMORIES,CAN Be BEAUTIFUL AND YET…WHAT TOO PAINFUL TO REMEMBER…. WE SIMPLE CHOOSE TO FORGET… So is the LAUGHTER WE Will REMEMBER…. WHENEVER WE WILL REMEMBER…. The way we WERE……… - (Barbara Streisand)
MEMORIES ARE A WAY TO HOLD ONTO THE THINGS YOU LOVED AND TREASURE…
IT’S THE SIMPLE JOYS; THE SIMPLE PLEASURES; THAT OUR HEARTS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER….
by leaving the past behind, we can not do anything about it and that is what i think that means. but that does not mean you forget and one should learn from the past. i dont regret what i have done in the past for if i did, i would not be me and all that was has become me, the good and the bad. i am not perfect and dont want to be or can be.

I always love to read people’s opinion on this topic. I believe that mistakes isnβt a bad thing,Β theyβreΒ essential for growth, butΒ I do think that some mistakes are fatal and making certain mistakes over and over again can be time consuming and unnecessary. I think the key is to minimize the number of mistakes you make in life. Once made though, I can see why the best route is to be thankful for the mistakes we made and view them as a learning experiences
