going back

we can't go back and, really, what's the use in looking back and thinking about what if. 

i am where i am because of the decisions i've made and that's good. 

i had the opportunity to celebrate a 30 year anniversary with a hs coach of mine. 

probably the man whom i looked up to most growing up, it was great to spend time with him and reminisce. 

for the next day or so i played back so much history and hypothesized so many what if's...

i'm here and i need to be content, not because of obligation, but because i made choices to be here and they were good choices...as i age, i see that contentment is not something that comes naturally, at least not to me.  i have to work at it, remind myself of it and revel in it. 

i'm glad to be able to look back...

i'm glad to be able to look forward...

but i'm most thankful for what is...
