Memories flood my days now.
Sure, I make a few new memories as I go about each day but it is those thoughts of long ago that dance around in my head.
I see pictures - images of my small children at play, my husband's huge grin, him bringing a single violet to me in his big hand. I see us dancing with joy at each child's achievement. And, our hearts breaking over wrong choices they made.
I now dwell on the good times. They fill my soul to overflowing.
I wonder if those thoughts will fade as I go into the 'twilight zone' of life.
For now, though, they bring such comfort and joy.
Hi Latane, this was a very interesting post as lately I have found myself also remembering earlier times and family and friends no longer here. Your comment about dwelling on good times is good advice. I very much appreciated your recent blog visit and comment on my anniversary post. Thank you🌻
ReplyDeleteMemories are good company. I like the way you described them. Now don't forget to make some new ones.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI myself am beginning to visit those memories in my heart as my little ones are beginning to grow and leave the nest. Dwelling on the good times is a wonderful idea. Have a cozy evening!
You made me cry!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are so lucky to have so many beautiful memories - i hope they stay with you always!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I'm also staying at home TOO much, and feeling like I need to get out. But the HEAT keeps me indoors in the AC. I can't wait for cooler temps!
ReplyDeleteMe too, ME TOO! The memories flood my soul and although I make new ones too, the old ones are just so special! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYou have me visiting my memories. I pray I always remember. Age can sometimes take that away. Our memory is one of our greatest reservoirs for joy.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to have enjoyed a full life with so many memories. May you continue to make many more.
ReplyDeleteAs Vee says, we must keep on making new memories whilst we can dear Latane. I sit silently often and recall past times - some happy, some sad, but then that's life and we really are lucky to have memories at all as the years pass by. Don't know about you but I feel this year has just flown by despite all that is going on in the world. In all honesty there's not much I really want to remember so far!
ReplyDeleteTake care - Mary
I just love that image. So beautiful. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
