The daily writing prompt asks – Do you spend more time thinking about the future or past? Why?
I guess it depends on the day and situation. Most of the time I’m thinking about the future. Holidays and certain anniversaries I’m thinking about the past and reflecting. Certain locations or events might trigger more past thoughts.
I like looking forward but I also have a lot of good memories so looking at the past is nice sometimes also.
Now I’d say I spend more time thinking ahead than behind. Trying to live more in the present.

I think that’s a good balance, Mike. We have to look ahead but be guided by the past.
