Exactly where I need to be

Daily writing prompt
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

I mean, of course I’d want to go back and re-do moments that led to the biggest regrets in my life. But what fun is a perfect life?

And anyway I’m a firm believer in things ending up the way they do, because of the decisions made in the moments just before. In other words, if any one moment, not to mention year, had played out differently, I wouldn’t have what I have now.

I don’t like imagining that.

I recently started doing guided meditation again, and the second line of the mantra is “I’m exactly where I need to be”. I love saying it. It’s such a good reminder.

  3. I know that feeling in meditation, we had a little “practice” as they called it that started with “Just be”. I loved it.

  5. I’m with you, though I don’t mind reliving the day my son was born. Trying to relive a time to somehow make life “perfect” doesn’t make sense, we learn from mistakes and grow stronger.
