Lately I have found myself taking a look back, thinking about old experiences, looking at old photos, remembering events that took place years ago - all the cookies that have come and eaten, the walks, the collars I've worn. I realized it last night after I had a few flashbacks and someone reminded me I was talking about them - they were right, I was talking a lot about past events. I started to tune in and wonder why? I know we often remember situations, some of us even live in the past - something we work to refrain from doing, but why for me so much lately? It's not very Hagar-like...I guess by taking a look back at certain situation or events, looking at old photos reminds me of what has brought me to where I am today - a great place. It helps me take a look at what was and evaluate how it has shaped who I am. I think it's an important practice to draw appreciation for those around us, where we're at and all that we have gained.
Take a look back, but just a look, don't stay there... appreciate how that has shaped your present...
