A Visit

I have kept journals for more years than seems possible. I was looking through some pages from 1995 and was surprised at some of the things that happened that long ago.-One very traumatic incident took place in December of the year before and I wrote a response to it early in January. I am glad that I was reminded of that experience and very proud to say that fourteen years has healed that wound and being reminded of it did not stir it up. I did not relive the experience but I was able to understand it more clearly looking at it from a distance. - I must not spend my life living in the past but if I understand the past I can have a better understanding of the present.
