Twenty six years ago I spent time with my then 93 year-old grandmother. I said, "Grandma, you've seen a lot of tough times. What was the roughest time? Where did you have the most difficulty?” She turned her head toward me and she said, "Oh, I've forgotten."

It’s not that she was forgetful at all – she just let go of the hurt and the pain. She remembered all the good times and all the blessings. But she intentionally forgot the rough times.

You see, when you look ahead, you can't see what's behind you. And of course, the opposite is true too. When you look behind you, you can't see where you are going.
