Sometimes the rear view mirror has a caution sign, so we move forward. The past has a lot to offer. You can be selective on recall. I have a video of hubby laughing, deep, hardcore laughing. I played it during supper the other night and although the details are vague, it was infectious. Probably should have waited until we were done eating to avoid choking. I’m glad I have the video. I need more of my family laughing. What a sweet emotion to carry around.
I was trying to get rid of pictures off of my phone, but the distraction of all the different times had me sucked in for hours! My phone is my memory bank, don’t really want to curb that. It is so easy to get caught in events and life and forget to shine a spotlight on better times. A constant highlight reel playing the key positive moments. The old show, “This is your life,” just good times! Maybe that is why so many people are hooked on Tik Tok and movie clips, feel happy little clips.
Bad moments happen, maybe even necessary. They help us reflect and do better. It allows us to have true gratitude and appreciation for our lives. Sounds counterproductive, but in the bigger picture and hindsight we really do relish our good times more after experiencing the less than moments. When my gal pals get together, the ugly, scary, rough stuff comes out, but now we can laugh at it. We poke fun at ourselves and create good out of bad. Maybe we need to check mark our good days on the calendar. Just checks and x’s don’t want to write out a docudrama. Make yourself some fun, every day!
