Conversing With My Past Self

I asked my past self,
"what would you prefer,
watching a late night soccer game,
or sky gazing?"

He replied "Watching a late night soccer game".

I asked my past self,
"who would you like to spend
Christmas Eve with,
your best friend or family?"

He replied "Of course, best friend!"

I asked my past self,
"what would you do if you won a thousand
dollars in a jackpot?"

He replied "Have a weekend party at my place!"

I asked my past self,
"what do you think about love?"

He thought for a while, and replied
"love is a fantasy".

I asked my past self,
"is life based on luck or miracles."

He snarled at me mockingly,
and shouted "Luck!"

Today,
I find peace in nature;
I appreciate my parents;
I spend money wisely;
I have a loving wife;
I feel blessed each day!
