Recall
Looking back then
now ..
Upon what might
well
once have been ..
Is not so
much a pleasant
lifestyle
choice these days ..
But rather
more, I am afraid
to say, an
increasing necessity ..

You could walk backwards and be able to see those pleasant things of the past in front of you! lol.

A wake up call, perhaps .. ta muchly Teddy 🌹

Your sweet review helps make the effort worthwhile and for that, I thank you Cloie .. Neville
We must always move forward Neville, we can do nothing about our past except use our experience to make the future better.

Sage advice my little golden wonder .. but sometimes one may need to exercise a little poetic license .. maybe .. 😉💛👍
Memories can be pleasant to visit once in a while, but lingering in the what ifs is not living in the now, where you can be building stronger. I guess that’s not easy when we live in times of such rapid and sometimes unwelcome change. Collisions are often painful. That!s where I drifted to Neville. Have a happy Tuesday my friend.
Don't drift too long Cassie .. I like to think of you at the helm and in full control, but sound advice is never declined & on reflection, as always .. I thank you for it .. and a terrific Tuesday to You .. (there is a metaphor hidden somewh
