If I Could Turn Back Time

Heard this song today, and as Cher sang out:

If I could turn back time...

I thought: "I wouldn't." And I marveled that, at least for today, I have no desire to turn back time or change the past. I feel content being in the here and now, with all of its complications and (seeming) lack of perfection.

This might not seem like a big deal, but coming from a woman whose favorite movie was once Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is all about erasing the past -- it's a pretty big deal.

I wouldn't have said the same thing a year ago, and I may not be saying the same thing tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to enjoy being right here in this moment, content with everything, just as it is...
