Constance's Who I Am Contest ~ 11/24//2024

"I am many things to many people, but it's how I see myself that matters most." ~ by poet My path in life ~ I didn't know where it would lead Along the way I made mistakes that I regret But from them I have learned success isn't measured by material wealth and that I should never take life for granted Time will never linger for me. I rejoice in the now, not dwelling on the past Humility is a gift I've always treasured Measure me by the kindness in my heart, the happiness I feel when I remember each blessing I have received I can embrace my melancholy memories but my positive thoughts prevail just as in each Spring, everything will be made new

Lin, this reflects a wonderful outlook on life. I totally agree with your philosophy. Even the things we regret can teach us how to deal with things that come our way now. There's always a chance to do good and be happy too. It's a state of mind. I love letting happy thoughts soak in and it's becoming easier with age. Reading poetry here also helps! Smiles.

I love your positive spirit and the willingness to pick up and move forward, learn from your mistakes, and accept the things we cannot change. I needed to read your words this morning.

We all make mistakes as we tred life's path and learning from them defines us. I agree, it's always best to keep looking ahead and leave the past where it is, love your quote too Lin. Hope your day is going well. Tom
