I was living each day based on what had happened before, the work I'd done, my heritage... etc. etc. It was a miserable way to live! Who says that precedent and expectations MUST be followed? <BR/><BR/>Now I try to live in the present, because I finally realized, that's all we have.Niki McNeill Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394462865993841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656374468591188239.post-67461748939643520022008-04-21T19:06:00.000-04:002008-04-21T19:06:00.000-04:00That's my momma!!!!!!!!!but on some real..... i tr...That's my momma!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>but on some real..... i try not to pay much attention to history. mainly because i live the way i do. (the premise behind the blog) but i do everything i can not to repeat history, esp if it involves making the same mistake twice. i think the best thing about being human is that we have an opportunity to write our own history, and maybe have that history become LEGEND. one day i will be LEGENDARY. believe that!!!!Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428766792757992025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656374468591188239.post-12484043450565813052008-04-21T17:48:00.000-04:002008-04-21T17:48:00.000-04:00History never looks like history when you are livi...History never looks like history when you are living through it. ~John W. Gardner<BR/><BR/>My point. You MUST live life to the fullest because each and every moment, eventful or not, you are creating history. Just as sure as you live and breathe, you are creating history (memories).<BR/><BR/>You can't undo it! You can't erase it...BUT you can avoid recreating the same history.<BR/><BR/>History is the sum total of the things that could have been avoided. ~Konrad Adenauer<BR/><BR/>Just as sure as history repeats itself.. the stupidity of man and war (IRAQ)...but ANYWAY...<BR/><BR/>There is your individual HISTORY that you can avoid repeating YOURSELF.<BR/><BR/>You have to remember HISTORY simply is HIS-STORY. It's your story. <BR/><BR/>Life your life (story )the way you would like for it to be told. No guarantee it will be told that way, but you can guarantee to STRIVE to live t that way.<BR/><BR/>You wrote, "All you can do is live with it...<BR/><BR/>And until you can get that done...<BR/><BR/>...then it's not quite history, is it?"<BR/><BR/>I couldn't have said it better myself.<BR/><BR/>sTeW'z MOM!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414475283800599827noreply@blogger.com
