Today is a Gift.

I've been obsessing lately. Mostly about the future, but even this past week, I've been dwelling in the past. Heavily in the past. It brings up all sorts of emotions I forgot I had. Networking sites don't help any, either. Keeping up with people after I have moved past that part of my life is difficult for me. Even today, I made an effort to dredge up emotions from a past relationship, and it doesn't make me feel better to process through them. What should I do?

I've always had the unfortunate nature to keep looking ahead. For the past year, I have been involved with a babywearing forum: learning about, buying, and selling baby wraps. It has been a fun distraction, but I haven't been in the present. Being a part of the babywearing community only makes me long to be a mother, and it is not time for that yet. I need to take a step back from this.

I'm hoping that choosing to focus on other areas of my life will help--Being in the present, in the now, making the most of where I am--This is where I belong right now. Enough of the old memories, relationships, future hopes and dreams: Be here. Now.
