Leroy can be thought provoking; this is what I posted in response:
On this journey
I call my life
I've found no one
more interested
In it than I.
If I don't remember,
who will? Certainly
not the cancer...
I choose to remember
As much as I can
As long as I can
As it's who I am
And who I am to be.

Be well.
What would you choose to forget?

I would choose to forget my fears earlier in my life. I lived a long time in fear of somethng going wrong. It did, too, sometimes.
Now I live with more confidence that things will be okay. And sometimes things go wrong.
Anyway, I have forgotten quite a bit, or at least can't access it, so I'm with you, DP. I'll remember what I can. I hope to have learned from most of it.
I think I have already forgotten all that I needed to forget, and much of what I should have remembered. I have always aspired to live my life without regrets so, like C-man and dp, I choose to remember as much as I can and learn from it when possible.
Wise words from wise people...people who have lived enough years in this lifetime to actually have valuable opinions. Maybe that's why they call us Elders when we reach this age. Holders of Wisdom, with the charge of passing it on to younger generations. Now if only we could be sure younger generations were getting the opportunity to hear our words. Does our collective wisdom include that trick?

Well, Oregon Connie, that would be a whole nother blog, wouldn't it. As a therapist who works with kids, I stumble on wisdom from time to time. Mostly I listen. Sometimes the little buggers are pretty wise.
...why, yes, CraniumMan, you little buggers _are_ pretty wise!
Always wonderful to see you:
here, there and everywhere,
then, now and tomorrow.
