This must be my nth attempt to start a blog and I’m still not sure why I’m doing this. “the aberrations of a menopausal mind” is what my children call it. . Could be true . Otherwise how can I think of writing a personal diary to be read in the public? The feat itself is defeatist. A kind of perversion. But that seems to be the norm. It is the age of reality TV. Where people blurt out their hearts, many half truths with wild imaginations..
But I know all blogs are not personal diaries ...The need to write a blog is different for different people. There are blogs about specific subjects, informative and very useful,
millions of them floating around about endless subjects. But I don’t know to which category my blog belongs ...This is an ordinary life. I don’t think much is happening in my life and how much can one exaggerate about an ordinary life..??? So this is an attempt to create a mirage… about everything in a mundane life. Ordinary delusion. Now, don’t doubt about delusions being ordinary. Just read on.
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans...” sang John Lennon
Yes, very true. I’ve been waiting all these years for more and more beautiful things to happen and making plans for that, and my life just passed by, without me even realizing .Now in these twilight years I am fraught with remorse. Too many unkempt promises and unfulfilled dreams. But Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be. You can’t relive your past. So just take care of your memories and move ahead. There is no point in brooding about the past or dreaming about the future. Spend the present moment wisely to enrich your life and those of others. The world constantly renews itself and when you look at it that way; regret and nostalgia seem equally futile.
A cartoon character said “yesterday is gone that’s why we call it History and tomorrow we don’t know what’s going to happen so it’s a Mystery and today is what really matters .each day is a gift that’s why we call it Present” How true..
So let me look ahead while enjoying the present. Happy days are here again..
