Living in the now

Each day that passes we are not only one day closer to our future, but we are also putting one more day between us and our pasts...
I, like most teens-early twenties-mid-twenties girls, was one of those who every time I let myself "fall" for a guy started letting myself think about where it would go and started "making plans"....but life has happened my dears, and I have learned some things.  One of those things is that tomorrow is a new day, and another is that you can't dwell on the past if you want to move forward.
Today I saw who I believed at one time was the love of my life, pushing a baby in a stroller up the street. I did the genial thing and waved to him and his fiance and went about my business. As I drove away I started thinking about all the plans I had once made...the house, the wedding, the family...all of that gone, eh'hem...with him.
There are so many songs about it...Garth Brooks' "Unanswered Prayers", "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts is along the same line, and I had one in my head earlier today and I have lost it momentarily, but anyway.  The point is we will fall in love and we will get our hearts broken....Oh, that was it, "I wanna do it all" by Terri Clark (I love that song)... But with every relationship we will learn something about who we are and who want to be.  I won't tell you everything I have learned about myself through my break ups but I will tell you I feel like I owe apologies to some of my exes for blaming everything that happened on them, when now looking back, I was to blame for some stuff too, it just took some time to see it. 
But now I have learned to live in the present and know that the future will get here when it gets here.  I don't let myself  start even considering what might happen in the future bc when you start doing that, you start living in the future and you forget to enjoy the present.  I know that oneday I will be married and get my house and family that I am wanting, I just have to wait and see who will be the lucky guy that gets to build it all with me. But in the mean time I am going to try to just enjoy spending time with the man who is making me wanna write my own country songs.
Have A GOODloe Day!
