Hi Dawn,

I too reminisce about the good times when I could work out, run, hike, swim, etc. etc. I remember it with joy and know that it can't happen again for now...... as Di says it really is reminiscing and mourning.... you mourn for your old life but hopefully healthfully.

I desperately miss my nursing, I desperately miss my hobbies...... but this is life now..... and as I recently read in my yoga journal it is important to live in the Now and cope with what is happening now, this is not to say that you must forget the past, but it is to say that you should deal with the things that are bothering you immediately not what is in the past and not what is in the future as now is the most important part of your life..... is today !!!

I guess this goes with the concept of living your life day to day not to say you can't plan but live one day at a time!

Take care, love and hugs,
Victoria
