I used to be unable to live in the now.  I lived with regret of the past and full of fear for the future.  I now know that the past is my greatest asset.  The good and bad in my past are all lessons learned.  Experience and knowledge are things no one can ever take from me.  But it is a great gift for me to be able to give of them freely.  I no longer have any real fear of the future.  Those terrible things that I used to worry about happening in the future are mostly just in my head.  Now is where reality lives.  Now is where the enjoyment in this beautiful mountain scene is.  Now is where I live.
