Do you know?

I cherish the moments to walk with my daughter to school and to have time with my thoughts on the way back. Today I confronted my negative friend in my head, the one that sabotages me on the regular. Incrementally I have been making strides to change the things that I see I need to in order to get back on track. I have a photograph taken with a friend whom I have not seen for over a decade. We both look like warmed over versions of ourselves and I was appalled when I saw the way I looked in the photo. But last week when I was thinking about it, it came to me that the very photo I cringe over shall be one of a time when even though I found I didn;t like the image, it still represents a moment I cannot get back. A moment where I met a friend after so long and I was so happy to see her and to meet her husband. In fact, no photo I take now is ever going to be like the photos I take in the future, as every moment I am changing, every moment is leading me to another year with lots of changes and adjustments to be made. I can either spend, literally, spend my time in a full on mope, or I can see things for what they are, uncertain and thus just as worthy of making better because better is always there as well.
