"Starting today,
I need to forget what's gone,
appreciate what still remains,
and look forward to what's coming next".
We all have 'history'
which we all have to 'live with'.
BUT
--- we have to ask ourselves:
"What have I got today?"
We need to appreciate
the good things,
the benefits ---
a roof over our heads,
food in the fridge,
electricity for the TV and radio and radiators.
Simple things
but easy to take for granted.
What about our family?
Our friends?
Do we work?
Are we at school or college?
And what about our 'physical' things?
A decent phone?
Books to read?
A nice TV to watch programmes on?
A hobby we love to do every day?
Let's focus
on the GOOD things
on the POSITIVE things,
let's LOOK FORWARD
to the FUTURE!
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Thank you for sharing your mind! We often fail to recognize the value of the blessings we possess until they slip away. Dwelling on the past is an endeavor without purpose. There is a Bulgarian song, whose chorus says "Raise your gaze, behold this realm, Life today marches forth, not in reverse's helm." It's crucial to cherish our present blessings and embrace each day for what it offers, looking toward the future.
