Interesting Stories About Our Past

Bringing The Past Into The Future

January20

There’s something about living in the past that seems to bother some people more than others.  As with a lot of things in life, moderation is the key here.  I don’t mind living in the past for short durations of time.  As a matter of fact, I think that reminiscing about your early years is a very therapeutic exercise for most people.  I can’t imagine a time when I was daydreaming of my past that didn’t make me feel good at the end of it.  Even if it was a bad experience, we tend to remember those things in such a way as to make them less of a disaster then they may have been at the time.  It’s part of our human make up, to only remember the good times, and block out the painful stuff.  Otherwise, why would women ever have more than on child.  I for one, will always enjoy thinking about the crazy stuff I did as a kid or as a young adult.  The one cool thing about getting older, is that I get to have more memorable experiences to dwell on.
