Should have, could have, why didn't I, why did I? While doing my thing at the fitness center today my mind became clogged with questions along those lines. Boy, I should have started coming to the fitness center when I was still young and fit like that skinny girl walking by. Boy, I could have looked really good like that other grey haired woman if only I hadn't let myself eat from the candy bowl every time I passed by. Why didn't I spend more time on myself instead of at work? Why did I let myself get so out-of-shape?
Then suddenly the brakes engaged. Screech! Whoa girl. Stop that. We are only looking forward. We're thinking only about what we want to feel like, look like, do from this point on. Yesterday is yesterday. It was a good moment. A positive moment. One I did not expect I needed or would have yet did.
However, I am very glad I didn't buy that hounds tooth coat I saw someone wearing today. So yesterday.
I missed this blog posting somehow but I must say it's my favorite of yours so far. We can only hope to make it through this life by focusing forward and not living in the past- we can't celebrate the wins for too long because it influences us to sit on our laurels and we can dwell on losses because this also motivates us to lay on the tracks and get run over.
