Do you reminisce or just live for the day?

I try not to reminisce so much as it can make me a bit sad.
How about you?

    Similar to you both, I try to live for the day, but do sometimes find myself reminiscing in a negative way. 

    I know this won't be the same for everyone, but I'm enjoying life more now than I did for a good chunk of my past, which does make it a bit easier to enjoy the moment and not look back too much!

    Do you have any tips for living for the day @CoffeeFirst @Biblioklept?

    I reminisce, it’s what your memory is for after all, lol.
    Its perfectly okay to do so but, as usual, it’s a question of degree. I like to live in the moment, it’s all we really have despite a moment being infinitesimally small. But even living in the moment shouldn’t be taken too far either, we must plan ahead for one thing. Again though, it’s a quest of degree, to constantly live in the future means we cannot relish the present.

    i think out of past present and future we tend to overlook the present moment the most.

    I live in the past. I dream most nights about people that I knew and the times we had. I live day to day. My wife calls me a war baby, I was mostly raised by my grandparents so stuck in the past.
