I think this poem resonates with a lot of people, especially nowadays.<br />Like you, when I was younger, I used to live in the moment. In fact, that was my motto. ;)<br />Today, I am more careful about my decisions and I do listen more. My mom always told me, "He who listens to advice gets to live longer".

At least a bit. After all, I've followed sensible advice all my life. <br />Thanks for sharing this poem. <br /><br />Jay Paolonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647807643476130105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-14411533955464497512013-01-28T18:59:21.532-05:002013-01-28T18:59:21.532-05:00Isn't it amazing that some poets/authors have ...Isn't it amazing that some poets/authors have such effect on our life?

The memories of that life help me to push on to my version of an authentic life today, and to accept changes with as you say, a more positive perspective. Thank you for sharing. :) Hope you're having a wonderful day.

I've never been afraid of changes, in fact, I always welcomed them. That being said, in my more mature years, LOL, I've found myself treading lightly when it comes to certain changes. I'm glad your leaps have taken you far ;)<br />Nice seeing you around!<br />Say hello to Charlie.Claudia Zurchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302024950570710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-49090580822144695882013-01-27T20:16:26.425-05:002013-01-27T20:16:26.425-05:00Hmmm I guess it depends what the truth is.

Hello and welcome back!!! And what a comeback! Love this poem - thank you. I tend to shy away from changes but boy when I do leap - I leap far and wide that it always takes everyone including me by surprise! No regrets though. Never!
