Do you find yourself looking ahead to the future or looking behind at the past?

When one hit 40s there is a tendency to look back. In my case I do compare which generation has better opportunities and what good things you can do then that you cannot enjoy anymore today. This doesn't mean that I dwell on the past. It is good to look back once in a while to learn from your mistakes in the past that you no longer want to commit again in the present.

I do both. I reminisce about the old days sometimes. I think about old friends, school, or where I lived, but most of the times when I think of the past, I think about when I first met my husband. I also think of the future. What tomorrow might bring. Or what I even have to do in the present. Like getting ready to see my in-laws...UGH! LOL

Yes i do alot. these days i do not get to experience a lot. Thinking back on the good all days, the fun, and the laughter keeps my spirits up when i feel trapped by these walls. It also gives me something to look forward to when i get better. I know how good things can be - I know it can get that way again.

I was used to look back at the past and regret. But then, later on i just realized that there are many things awaits me and i still have a very long way to go. I am looking ahead to my future.. hoping that someday when i look back, i will smile..
