If the memory of some idyllic situation in your past is dancing around in your
brain, and you keep comparing it to something in your life that is happening
now, the present status may pale by comparison. But that's not really fair, Le
o. You are recalling that time gone by through the filter of hazy memory, and
you are probably, unknowingly, editing out anything bad. You own the present,
though, and comparing it to the past is not fair at all. With that memory fill
ing up your mind, there is no room for something new and wonderful. Make room.
