The Trouble with the Past
Is that it both was and was not a long time ago. Paula reminds us of the internet's wayback machine and through that I found some of my bloggery from a long time ago. There was some good writing, some good memories, a small reflection of some good living. It was so very long ago that I wrote this page, almost ten years, and yet it was also just yesterday. Maybe the day before. There's been a LOT of water under the bridge since then. But some things haven't changed at all, and some things, like living with my sons while they attend high school, I would return to in a heartbeat, if I could also forget all about the present day that I would be missing. To go back, I'd have to forget it. The past may be both yesterday and a century ago, but now is now.

It's strange to look at that stuff. I archived the private blog I wrote during my mother's time of dying, and that's hard to read. I was so specific that it will zoom me right back. Lately, that all seems like a really long time ago tho. I've been more inclined these days to go back 15 years or so. I see/hear things so clearly, but only snippets. I don't look at Ultrablog much. That all was a bad time, too, but I was trying to keep up a manic fake front. So exhausting... I think I'm still tired from those days.
