this is what I read at the moment.
I love Matt Haig's fascinating idea: to be able to test different lives that would have been the result of not choosing the one option you actually took.
Consequences of choices that one made - or didn't take.
Makes me think a lot ... what would have been if...
On the other hand - to stay content and sane - my motto is:
"Yesterday is over and the door to tomorrow is still closed. Today is all you (really) have."
Yesterday is definitely over, but at least we have the photos and relics of the good times to remind us. Who knows what will happen when the door to tomorrow finally opens.
ReplyDeleteYes, photos and relics are very important, and of course your memories. I don't want to know what happens tomorrow - think of poor Cassandra!
DeleteSo hard to live today without trying to prelive upcoming days. But it's wise to remember.
ReplyDeleteTrue, of course we all try to plan and make things good. But trying to concentrate on what you are doing now - almost impossible for me, because always thoughts are coming up - is a wonderful attempt to go deeper.
DeleteI can think of nothing I would change. Even the bad experiences were learning tools.
ReplyDeleteI am glad about having decided, even if the outcome was not always optimal. Think of the French song "Non, je ne regret lien..." by Edith Piaf. I join in!
DeleteOh, cute as, Britta!! I just left a little tale on your post of a few days ago, on why you now own such a dinky little gadget :)
ReplyDeleteDear Pipistrello, so great to find your two comments which Google had popped into its little spam basket. That convinces me that they collect our data but do not read them - otherwise they wouldn't have dared!
