Go back-such age is not of me caricature of used to be never would I become this bent to order of establishment. I still see flowers in my hair without my glasses,they are there! My love is free and wanted, too please say happy days are not through.. I wear my peasant blouse sans bra a least I did in times gone far too bad it cannot stay the same it looks like dreams were only games. I still believe in peace, not war but then again, I find I'm for eliminating tyranny but how to do, and still be free? Please let me start over again I'd surely do it better then. |

Ah such regret. You may be the only one here consistently sadder than I. And as such I can offer no advice, just condolences. "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

Excellent write here Sandra... and I know where you're coming from with my birthday being yesterday... I pondered a lot of these same thoughts. Yet, in my head I'm still that young woman in peasant dress, with a daisy chain in her hair. Have a wonderful birthday sweet lady. Peace!! |

An excellent write, Sandra... I think we all have feelings like this from time to time, but I know that I would never want to be in my twenties again...except for the health thing... otherwise, I feel much happier as a grandma. I hope you do too... and...I sure hope that you have a wonderful birthday  ~ Happy Birthday HugsLyra |

How I love your writing ... it comes from the deepest parts of you. Oh, what I'd do to create happiness in your depths. The pictures you draw are stunning and true-to-life. Write on, Nurse Sandra Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

introspective. . . yes. . . I see it. . . looking back with regret. . . or looking back in amber. . . I wonder where those came from. . . anyway. . . remember that you've gone this way for a reason. . . and that now, it's time to keep walking. . . and that the heart always knows. . . Happy Birthday my friend. . . there will be more. . .  --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I do believe Sven pretty well nailed it. It is certainly OK to look back, but we should also look forward at the same time using our past as a learning tool.... |
