Use What You Have

Our lives are made of a series of moments that are here and then they are gone, yet it is those moments we will look upon as our life proceeds towards its final destination. The people and things we have cared about are stored in our memories. We can recall how someone made us feel as we revisit our bygone days. As we travel through this life, we gather mementos of time that will help us when we need it most. Past conversations, reassurances of your worth, instant memories that make you smile. So use what you have and work on making peace with the pain of past mistakes. Because in the end, when your life flashes before your eyes, hopefully you are recalling life’s joyous ride.
