I awoke one morning last week with my mind ruminating about something that had happened the day before. ‘If only’ ideas crowded my thoughts. If only I had done this or said that…I was caught in an endless loop.

I suspect animals don’t have ‘if only’ thoughts. They simply live moment by moment guided by their intuition, unaffected by their past.
Will Rogers once said, ‘Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.’
I believe he and the finch are on to something…
