Blastin the past

On the first of three Devils west coast games that I will miss from the road office (starting with a win in Anaheim),I thought about some things from the non-sports world.
Frankly,I wonder if you can ever really escape the past.
People remember what was more than they really remember what is and memory can play tricks on us all.
Things can better or worse depending on how you want to remember them
The good old days weren't always as good as good as we remember them and some times we can hold resentment towards things that might not be remembered accurately.

I'm not different from anyone else.
Things are remembered better than they might have been and I can hold slights that in hindsight weren't that important in the big scheme of things.
Is it possible that happens?
Yeah,pretty likely,but often times,memory is pretty dead on too.
Losing things that you cannot get back stings and those issues and people can be carried around for a long time.

Bad memories can often cause present problems too.
Imagined problems or at last exaggerated ones do just that and it adds stress and hassles.
The problem often is-whose problems are the exaggerated,mine or someone elses?
It could be mine.
We can't all be the people that we once were and more often than not,that's a good thing.
Everything is a process and I still make the walk forward and back.
Some people are around long term,others for a second in time,but whats done is done-
One can only deal is what is,not always what was,whether that is good or bad..

All I know is this-some times the harder you try,the less you truly know.
It's cliche' I'm sure-but trying to jump the hurdle of what was can get in the way of dealing with what is.
