Or as we say in English; as time goes by. The grand opening of the new Alameda Cinema was today and what best should be playing there but my favorite movie Casablanca - on the big screen! Mara & I stood in line to enjoy Bogy, Ingrid, and the usual suspects at a moment in time in Morocco. After the movie I came to thinking about how time does go by and what we do with that time. Some of us go thru life quickly waiting for each next event to happen and miss enjoying the moment we are in. Then there are others who I recently came to know said while enjoying their daily “snoogie” they sit back and watch time pass by. For some of us we look at past events in our lives wishing we could go back in time and change how we may have done things, or wonder what could have been if.... Moreover how do we handle skeletons in our past that suddenly make their debut? I’ve found myself thinking these thoughts as I ponder my own life’s events. What if we could magically change those moments? Would we be happier or wiser, or do we sit back and know that the lesson in those moments make us who we are today?
Just recently another friend said to me “you know we are getting older” and I rebuked this immediately, thinking I would not commit to older but perhaps being wiser and becoming better at life. Hmmm…“we’ll always have Paris” or as les gens français would say; C’est la Vie. Well whatever you do in life, hold it precious and as Bogy said “here’s looking at you kid”.
