I love this story! I sensed it but never thought much about how much we are defined by what we have knowingly not done as well as what we have actually done. I also still live in the Amsterdam of my mind. Sometimes if I lay down to take an afternoon nap I will imagine myself at my apartment on the Nieuwe Herengracht, go outside, unlock my bike and take off for a bike ride, usually heading up the Amstel to the skinny bridge and then take off from there! In fact, I’m going to do that right now!

An Amsterdam of the mind sounds like a lovely place to escape to...I take a similar trip to Ptown every now and again!
