Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

I get excited thinking about plans for the future and thinking about my kids and their significant others. I think about the 2 little kids and my granddaughter, and like to imagine what they will do in life and can only hope their hopes and dreams are all fulfilled.

I also sometimes get discouraged when thinking about the future because I do have so many health issues, and I don’t feel like doing as much as I used to do. I’m not up to doing the things I once really enjoyed. I hope that I can get back to that so that I’m able to feel like running and playing with the kids, being OCD with the house, and travel and not be worn out all the time.

I do think about the past. I loved my childhood. I had the absolute best time growing up. I couldn’t have asked for a better family or circle of friends. I am so thankful for that, and I do find myself thinking of all of this often. I have lost many people from my past over the last few years, and it’s sad to know they are gone. I am a Christian, and I have faith that I will see them again. This brings peace to my heart, but I do have so much sorrow that they are gone. Especially my mom. She died suddenly and unexpectedly. I think of her every single day. I think before a parent dies, you tell people you are thinking of them and praying for them. You truly mean it with all sincerity. You don’t understand until it happens to you, the void and hole that the death of a parent leaves.

Circling back to the question… do I think more of the past or present? I think it depends on my mood, but I think it’s probably a 50/50 split.
