Three Day Quote Challenge: The Past #quotes #BruceSpringsteen

Every once in awhile, I like to take up a challenge or two to keep my mind and things fresh. My blogging buddy, Cathy challenged me to a three day quote challenge.  I like quotes, so, I thought why not! Thanks, Cathy!

Here is the rules to this thing...you know, there are always rules.

So, the quote...

Recently, I came across a person I knew years ago that I had a relationship with. No, I will not share the name to protect families. Anyway, we had dated for a number of years and broke up with a sad ending. I had always wondered what had happened to him and where his life took him. Now, I know.

The fact of the matter is, my past with him is just that, the past. I do not know where life would have been if I was still with him here in the present but I know, you cannot change it.

So, what do you do? Live with it! You live with all those wonderful memories and you move forward. You learn that things don't always turn out the way you thought they might but maybe they turned out even better for you. You learn that a relationship with this person just was not meant to be but you also learn that maybe friendship can be in the here and now.

I like that.

Make sure you come back tomorrow and see what quote is on my mind. I am challenging, my musical blog buddy, Stacy from Stacy Uncorked. Leave me a comment if you would. I would like to know what you are thinking.
