The Past...

I often hear and I've caught myself saying, "Only if I could go back..." or "I wish I could relive..." I know that our past memories are so precious and enjoyable that we want to relive them. Believe I know, I've had a few.

"When we dwell on past events, longing to relive those special moments; we forget of all the great adventures that lie in front of us. Instead of trying to relive the past, try creating a future where more marvelous moments await." - Moi

 Someday's are easier than others to not dwell on the beloved memories and get wrapped up in the emotion all over again. But as I've strived in my personal life to not forget those events, but try to earn more like them. Example, there is guy ( of course :P ) I've gone a few dates with him after I met him at this camp I went to. And on one date we went on, it was fantastic. Like nothing really went as planned (the weather, the over-all plan, what time I'd be home ) but everything went smoothly and wonderful. I had a total blast and loved it, and I often catch myself wanting to relive that date.

I'm now reminding myself that if I want the chance to have more fantastic dates with him or any other guy, I need to make sure I'm preparing myself to be open and looking for it. Does it mean I'm forgetting about it? Heavens no! Does it mean I don't want to go back and relive it? No way! Does it mean I have to sit in the corner of my bedroom and wait for another date? Of course not!

It's not about forgetting the past, it's living so more marvelous moments can happen.
