Michael asks us to explore deserted lanes in mind spaces – finding something forgotten.
I think about
- Lost keys and other items found while moving house
- My husband scanning through his parents’ personal belongings years after they passed away, and revisiting memories associated with those articles
- Widows telling me stories about how they asked their late husband to help with something, and just landed on the object of search
- A school reunion where we talk about days gone by
- Walking through a stretch where concrete towers have replaced the greenery
- Finding a cart with candy or ice-lollies we enjoyed in school
I think about using one of these as a theme, and then lightning strikes –
The most valued find in a lifetime is FORGOTTEN POTENTIAL.
I used to write in my student days, and then lost my creativity in drafting the perfect email or business report. It felt great to come back to it.
I decorated Amazon delivery boxes with decoupage art for storing kitchen napkins, and remembered that I enjoyed craft lessons in school.
I think I should try shaking a leg, despite the excess weight I carry, and rediscover my potential to dance.
The question that will haunt me this week is
“What did I do earlier, that I’ve stopped doing now?’
I was asked recently why I don’t still do some of the things I once did when younger. The memory is still there, the motivation to act on them is not. Fear has taken over, it something I know i should work on.Thanks for your great contribution Reena, so much to think about.

Those things of the past need to be relevant to our life today. Dancing in the rain will feel silly, and generate health problems, though we loved doing it in childhood.
Thank you, Michael!

I think it’s futile to have regrets. It’s better to make a fresh start. Take that dance lesson now!
