Just as you can choose between possible futures, you can choose between possible pasts. Your past is not a fixed reality; it is what you choose by focus and interpretation. Interpret your past through the eyes of appreciation, and it will become only a blessing.

In some ways I agree, but it’s also important not to fall into the denial trap. Always own your words and actions.
I agree, Kathryn. And I also think we can change our past.
Thoughtful site.

As I grow older, it becomes increasingly clear to me that it’s all about interpretation…not just from one’s perspective–of where they were standing when it went down, so to speak–but also because the ‘reality’ of the events has morphed over the years…bending to fit my interpretation.
