Trip

Lately I seem to be taking many trips down memory lane. I can't make much sense of these trips. I am one of those people who likes to live in the present. Sure, I have many things which haunt me but for the most part I recognize my life for what it is and not try to compare it to previous times. I think these trips are because I am starting over in the Northwest for the second time in my life. I really did enjoy my time in Oregon, but I left for a reason and I don't want my time in Washington to be a repeat of that. I guess the real question is how do I learn to enjoy the past without fearing what it means for the future?
