Oh don't get me wrong, she whispers to me when I miss a memory. The past is there for a dip in the pool.

But it came to NOW.

Now I use my toolbox of living to advise my questioning mind.

Now my response has the return to humor as a "go to".

Now I stretch more and complain less.

Now I ask a question when someone wants to be angry.

Now I seek a deeper level of truth.

Now I know it's not for the faint of heart.

It came to now.  I considered the shift.

Level UP?

They're in the middle of an ongoing drama.  It's a performance of emotions trying to find the light.

From where I  stand, I see it unfolding like a movie where I get the best perspective.  No one asks me what I think about it.  What I think about it is none of their business, right?

Instead, I learn by my observing and apply my opinion to my own life, not fixing what's broken in others.

What I don't say:  "If you'd find a way to forgive the past and let the present unfold in new ways, the pain of the past will fade."

What I do say:  "I've found that when I forgive the past, the present starts shining."

"Today is more important than yesterday."
