Reminiscing

Mam and I did a wee bit of reminiscing this evening (only a little bit, mind you, squished in between Merlin and bed!!), and I've come to the conclusion that it can be a good thing. A reminder, if you like, of how you got to where you are, even if it isn't where you thought you'd be when you were trying to get there!!!!!

Now don't get me wrong...I don't think there is any place for regrets, or dwelling on the past, but it can be nice to realise that if some of the yucky stuff hadn't happened, you would not be the you you are, in the place you are. And, if some of the stuff you thought you wanted to happen had happened, you'd be in a very different, and not so enjoyable place as you are thanks to the fact that they didn't happen! Confused? I am!!!!

And if you believe in fate, then it's nice to follow all the twists and turns on the way and see that you were really heading in the right direction all along!!

So today I am grateful for who I am, where I came from, and how I got here!!!

And now I will take a few deep breaths and be grateful for right now.

Gratefully yours.
