Looking back...

So often I read quotes that say, "don't look back you can't change the past." "Don't look back because the past doesn't matter, only the future." But they are wrong! There is nothing wrong with looking back..especially if it makes you smile. I look back often on my life and although I carry regrets, I'm never looking back with them in mind. I look back at the good times in my life, the people who have brought me to where I am today, I look back at how far I've come as a woman and an adult. I've gone through so many changes and I'm much happier now than I ever have been not because I've achieved or obtained the things I want in life but because I've realized what it takes and I'm working hard to get there. The distance between a & b is only shortened when you begin the journey. As much as I'm looking forward to my successes, I'm enjoying the trip. So look back so that when you look forward you don't just see how far you have to go, you can see how far you have come. Looking back but moving forward   :)   xxxo
