Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Children and young adults grow and look up and out. Older now and pushing middle years, they have the best of both worlds, looking forward and back…and then we get to where, if they are lucky enough there are lots of happy memories to reflect on, plus a little light ahead for what maybes.

I have regrets, things i wish i had done differently, sure I do. Maybe more than my fair share, tbh. But there you go! I also have happy, crazy, fun, and interesting times to look back on. It is kinda funny ( in a good way). A brief look back isn’t a bad thing. It’s when one dwells there it could become an issue.

For the future, I have silly little dreams, but it’s staying healthy, and mobile  is where the reality kicks in.

Planning for the future is not a bad thing, but expecting one? Not so much.

Which brings me neatly to the now. Living each day,still learning, letting go of what no longer matters and being truly grateful.

And in the words of John Lennon (1940~1980)

‘ Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans’
