Feeling very sad tonight

[Marilyn]

Awww, Angie, we all do this from time to time. I've looked back at the first 6 months of our 33 year marriage and remembered how simple things were, just the two of us in our pretty little one bedroom apartment with all our new stuff from our wedding showers, just setting up house. It was such a nice time.

I think back to when our girls were small and they were so cute and fun to dress up and play with and explore with. That was such a nice time that I miss.

But actually, though we can look back with fondness and miss that time, this is as you said a good time. There are special things happening right now that we will fondly look back to someday. We need to grasp the now and look to the future.

In reality, I don't want to go back. I like now, and if I went back, something might change and now would not be what it is. It could be different in a bad way.

Now is what we make of it, and we have the power to make it the best time of our lives. Embrace the present.
