Turn the thought on its head. Why not try something today that you have never done before?

Even old girl friends from grade school and high school. Special teachers, long since passed away. So what's to remember? And why? Those things are long gone. They directly affected us at the time, but now have nothing to do with our lives or decisions. We grow and we go. Nothing lasts. Which is good. It means we forget pain, sorrow, hurt, sadness, etc. As the old saying goes, "Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is cash, spend it well."</p> Wagons, bicycles, Santa Claus,… all things from the past. Even old girl friends from grade school and high school. Special teachers, long since passed away.

I was walking betwween buildings and decided to take a shortcut, jumped down over a railing and walked along a path that had some obstacles. I got to thinking that between work, projects, taking care of the children etc I just don't "play" outside like I did when I was a kid. </p> <p>I miss that.</p> I was just thinking about this the other day.

Then one day it gets swapped by another album and I forget it even exists ... for a long time. Then one day I rediscover it, put it on and find a joy I had not felt in a long time.</p> One of my great joys in life is finding an album I really love and listening the hell out of it.
