What I Have

Have you ever been so focused on what you're losing that you don't see what you have? What happened to make you realize what you were doing?

----

Have I ever? Not so much. I am not of the kind who cries over spilled milk.

A thought or two might have passed through my mind, maybe when I was much younger. Maybe when I had to stay home for a while and take care of kids until they were grown up, but even then, I worked from home. So, that wasn’t a major loss and, of course, I wanted to be with my children more than anything. Keeping busy and reading a lot help with any kind of preoccupation our minds push on us.

Past is past, and now, in old age, I am very thankful for what I have, and I don’t look back all that much.
