Note: This title is especially for my sister Emilea, who tried to convince me to use it for my overall title. It didn't work. Emilea, I hope my new title suits you.
Life is such a strange web of events, a winding road with many choices. I know there are some paths I wish I could backtrack, but life is unfair in that once you experience something, you can't go back to it. Like a favorite memory you can't relive or a nightmare you wish you could start over, your life is forever changed by every little choice.
It's funny. Today I went to see August Rush with Emilea. It was fabulous! I wanted to go back and watch it again. But I also knew, deep down, that it wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't have the same thrill. It's the way life works.
I wondered as I dressed this morning, should I spritz myself with Fresh Pineapple or Pearberry? As the title of this blog suggests, I chose Fresh Pineapple to match the lip gloss I got for free at Bath and Body Works yesterday. I could have easily chosen to wear Pearberry. How different would today's experience have been? I doubt that anyone noticed that my perfume and lip gloss were the same flavor.
Ah, the way we look back at the past instead of forward to the future, or even enjoy the present while we still have it. I wish I could go back and carpe diem what has already happened. The truth is, that's what I'm doing, and what I'll continue to do as the present slips through my fingers into the elusive past.
Stop running to the end of the winding road and looking back as you do. Take time to cherish the time you have to walk the road and take in the scenery.
Fresh Pineapple...what food for thought.
