ALL THAT ( and a bag of chips)

Did you ever find yourself ,
or someone you're with
being more excited,
interested in
or even enthralled        
by something
or someone you had.....
in the past?

Maybe an email or letter, a text...
...or better yet,
a phone call,
takes you instantly back
to what ever
floated your boat in the first place.

Maybe it was a previous house, or job,
or neighborhood, or lover or friend you moved on from,
but now just the thought, mention of it
or a word from them
sets your universe back in perfect order.

Easy to have those feelings when something is  "new" again. 
Easy to imagine and reminisce  about "how good"
and "what fun" it all was.

Well WAKE up and
ROCK THE SPACE you are CURRENTLY IN!

Stop providing people
a place to rest their head,
but Not their heart...
to bare their bottom,
but Not their soul.

If the past was
ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS...
You...( or That Person )...
needs to get off their tricycle,
and GO THERE for good!

Obviously there are reasons that
the past looks great in the rearview mirror...
no daily friction, or commitment,
or any of the other zits of life...

...but putting an ounce or more
of the time and energy that's been
DEVOTED to regurgitating days gone by
In your head...
could make all the difference in truly LIVING
and CELEBRATING what grew up
from the ashes of your past.

Love and Peace of mind,
DELIGHT and
Clarity of Purpose,
To you,
And those you love.
JOY
