A glance

 Ever look over your life and think, "Wow I did that?" Whether "that" be good, adventurous,  disgusting, disappointing, harmful or bliss. Just be surprised by looking back. A learning experience to either add or discard. A memory to recall. 

Certainly no one should linger too long in the past and definitely not want, desire, the yesterday lifestyles. Yet the lessons and the smiles, even the despair and the heartache tells a grand story of who we are. 

Ever just stand back for a moment and be content in the aspects of your life so far? I mean I realize that we have so many more dreams, goals to achieve but just taking that one moment to inhale and exhale.

Perhaps I am just thankful that some people have granted me an opportunity to listen to their lives. To be able to sit and absorb the information, just simply amazing. And maybe that sounds boring to some but I truly do miss storytelling. 

So in your morning list of activities to do, make a note to jot down one or two summaries of memories you learned from. Even think of what someone else could benefit from. Perhaps too much for you to do in the morning, maybe find a few minutes at lunch or do a voice memo to your phone.  You would be surprised in the goodness of knowing you could overcome or even continue to carry forward. 

I do realize some experiences are dark and can even damage to recall but that also helps heal. I speak of from my experiences. Not to say that in some of my cases I overcame but that I steadily continue to manage the outcome and strive for the positive within.

Yes I have quite a few bits that have not seen light but one day I will explore them. Finding myself saying, "Wow!" But until then I keep checking and rechecking myself. 

Indeed, one day, you too will look back and be amazed by how far you have come. So remain positive when you can and hope for the best.
