I spend way more time thinking about the past, some would say dwelling on it. The suppose the reason why is because being in my 50’s there is a lot more of it that the perceived about of future that I or any of us have when on a down hill slide to 60. Thankfully I still have my parents but don’t have grandparents anymore but with patents pushing 80 the reality that their time in the plain of reality is not going to last.

The past may have been good, bad or otherwise but it is known so reminiscing about it and sharing those lived experiences with others and the younger generation is comforting.
