The Past

Hello from the Missoula Public Library! It is a sunny but cold day. It is nice with the snow-capped peaks looming around. It looks like Snow Bowl is getting good snow. The weekend went by and I had not even realized it. I pretty much summed up, finished my new site code last night, and realized it was Monday morning. What a shock.

All that said should I feel guilty about just writing code all weekend. Maybe so but I am hoping that some web software company might think I could be an asset. Some people believe that each of our days were planned, ordered by God, before we were born. God knew, they would say, and planned exactly what was to become.

Others suggest, and believe me I have plenty of these friends too, that we chose, or participated in planning our life – the events, the people, the circumstances that we were to take place, in order to work through our issues and learn the lessons we needed to master.

I say, WHATEVER … chill out. Let it go! What ever we believe, the way we interpret, whatever, is similar. Yep, it's all the same dude. Our past is either a mistake or accident. We have been where we needed to be, with the necessary people. We can embrace our history, with the pain, the imperfections, the mistakes, and all the tragedies. It is uniquely yours and it is what makes you …. You. It is why we love you!

I say this … today; we are right where we need to be – for now! Let go and let us live.
