Author Toni
Bernhard had the life she always wanted with a good career and family life,
until 12 years ago she was struck with illness and had to give up a great
deal. Toni learned to adapt to her new
lifestyle, however, finds herself from time to time suffering from what she
calls "The Good Old Days
Syndrome" which often brings on sadness and depression. Good Old Days syndrome can strike when
reminiscing of the past or feeling nostalgic.
Bernhard states that "romanticizing the past can make us feel bad
about the present." Although it is
good to take trips down memory lane from time to time, it is good to remember
that you live in the present, not the past or future, and it is so important to
make the most of each day we have.
