Ah, but it is the balance, Kathy. We live with the wisdom that we've learned from the past, try to fully realize the moment, and reach for and anticipate the future. If you live in any one of those three places, I don't think that you're fully alive. We all know people who are so weighted down by the past that they can't appreciate the present. And those who ignore the past and continue to make the same mistakes. Those who are always waiting for the good times to come miss the joy of the present. As far as I'm concerned, the good old days are still to come. But, only living in the moment is very limiting to me, if that's all we do. Without dreams and desires for the future I think that we set our sights too low. Each of us tries to find our own balance between those three perceptions of our life.

I think..
