What Do You Miss?

In talking about the past, and what you could not do without today, I started thinking about the reverse.

What do you miss from your yesterdays? 

It may be a big thing or a small thing. Perhaps a game you no longer play or a town you no longer live in. Perhaps a restaurant you favored has closed. Whatever it was, write about it.

Here are some questions you may want to employ (beyond the obvious of what it was).
 

  • Did I like it a lot at the time or did I take it for granted?
  • How did I use it?
  • Why do I miss it now?
  • How did it impact my life in a positive way?
  • Why don't I have it anymore?
  • Is it possible to have something similar that will give me the same benefit?
  • Do I even want it now?
  • Does thinking about it make me feel sad or sweetly nostalgic? 

Of course you may have your questions that come up when writing. Try and take about ten minutes on this exercise.
What is  it that you miss from the past?
