Of blasts from the past

Recently, I encountered a blast from the past. And yes, i reeled under its effect.

Without going into too many details on the kind of blast it was, and the many repurcussions it had, what i have in essence to share is that:

• More often than not blasts from the past help you to be thankful for your present.
• You thank God for not answering all your prayers. It was always His wisdom pitched against yours that actually worked for you.
• All those experiences are what made you, what you are. for better, for worse.
• And yes, most of all in hindsight, your parents were more often right than not - though you would have loved to prove otherwise.
