SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 RECALLING MEMORIES

Mmmm hazelnut coffee. Every sip brings memories.
A friend introduced me to it many years ago.
What is something you love or partake in because of a friend or loved one?
Coffee with sweetened condensed milk and buttered toast to dip in it takes me back to winters and my mother. I will do that on days I’m really missing her.
I opened a new bottle of perfume yesterday. Closed my eyes and took in the scent. Another memory.
Sometimes memories can help me make it thru the day. Snippets of my life that made me laugh, cry, snort coffee through my nose….
Maybe a song comes on the radio and takes you to a place even Dorothy and Toto would be jealous.
A smell, sound, movie, meal….
Isn’t it wonderful we have memories? Can you imagine starting new every day? Nothing to fall back on, nothing to help guide you, no what would daddy do moments?
What an awful existence.
Memories make us who we are.
And molds our future.
Something we all have in common.
How many times have you heard….Do you remember when…?
And a smile appears on your face. You feel your body relax, your heart rate slows, you close your eyes and relive that moment.
Happiness
We need more of it. Make it a point to pull out those memories when you most need them. Share them with someone that may need a smile.
Most importantly,
Make new ones.
Be a part of someone else’s.
Be the reason someone smiles.
Last sip of coffee. Work beckons. Adulting must begin.
Have a wonderful memory making day!
