New here.. I often see dwelling being about negative things. I'm not sure if my dwelling is an ok thing or other issue. My wife complains that I dwell on my past too much though.

Basically I have good memories.. simpler times.. I keep dwelling on how I lived in the country and the anticipation of things was greater than today where everything is "yesterday". I remember my friends.. playing baseball in the fields.. going to the lake in the winter and everything was an adventure. It was great.. even the smell of fall and spring.. camping with friends..

I think about it a lot. I am married and have kids and I love them dearly. I just don't know why I can't let the past memories stop.. I even today just thought about elementary and sitting in the library reading Jumanji etc.. and book fairs.

I know this is not as serious as some issues people are having.. but for me I enjoy looking back but I don't know why I can't keep looking forward. I work and go home to my family.. we don't have a lot of friends anymore as they moved on nor do we hang out at friends houses often. Maybe that is part of it... anyone else feel this way????
