Remembering when...

I was sitting here today watching the snow come down, and dancing around the yard as the wind pushed the flakes on thier own predestined course, and realized it's been 11 years since the blizzard of '78. Those were the years...the years of adolesence, high school, and the only responsibilities we really had was to clean our room & learn.
It was days of discovery and exploration, as we did when it was safe to go outside. Life was simpler back then. Was life perfect...????...of course not. I have yet to see anyone who has or have had a perfect life. When we are in the midst of our own storm, looking at another's life may appear to be perfect, but once you are inside that other person's life, you see perfection does not live there either.

To remember those years makes me wonder why I was in such a rush to grow up. I guess we always think it will be better when we are old enough to make our own decisions, but if you have not paid attention to what you have been taught, the decisions you make could be the wrong ones.

There are really not too many things that I regret, because at the time, they were the things I "wanted" to do. There are, however, things I wish I could undo, take back, or even waited a bit later in life to do. I won't name those things right now, because they are really of no importance for this writing.

I will say that every word spoken, and every action taken will ALWAYS affect a person's future. Sometimes it is the immediate future or a little later. Then there are those things that we speak and do that can affect our future much later down the road. Use caution, advance slowly and always think of the outcome you would like to have out of an action or words spoken.

"Positive thoughts and actions bring about positive reactions. Negative thoughts and actions bring about negative reactions."

What kind of actions are you looking for in life?
