I reflect on the past, feeling a longing for love lost, sadness for words not said, compassion for the young woman I was, so full of fear and doubt.
I focus on the present, feeling overwhelming gratitude for a peaceful life hard won, one filled with love and beauty and possibilities.
I look to the future and feel hope that life will hold many more gifts of growth and perspective, that if I’m fortunate to be blessed with age I will look back on a life well-lived, one filled with many mistakes and triumphs, each wrinkle and line etched from laughter and sorrow, a heart humble and filled with joy.

This is a perfect attitude. I am cultivating the same in my life. Looking back I hope there are no real regrets for things I wish I had done…
