With the first touch of frost in the air, I begin the journey through the cold and soon-to-be wetness of winter in Oregon. I'll soon be wishing for the days of the past living in warmer climates. Re-visiting memories of the desert landscpes and enjoying the awesome beauty of the Grand Canyon.As we reminisce about places we have lived or visited in the past, do we remember just the "good" things? Are we mentally fooled into believing that if we returned the "good" places of the past today that our lives would be somehow improved? Is the satisfaction of our present life dependent on reliving the past, or boldly embracing the "now" and courageously conquering the unknowns of the future?
