Memories?

 This weekend I was looking back at some pictures and thinking about some memories from my past that had slipped until I had given them a direct thought. My sisters bear mask that she wore the whole vacation, my old dog Patches, the red brick from our second house. I think of these memories and I am reminded of a whole different time in my life and it brings a small smile to my face. Are those memories perfect? No. Was life perfect then? Definitely not. So what makes those memories so special?

    In life we create these attachments to places, things, and the way they make us feel. Theres a quote that says "you don't realize the good times, until you look back and those memories are the good times." Basically saying life changes and sometimes we don't realize the good memories until they've passed.  My favorite memories I didn't know that they were gonna be my favorite until I looked back and realized how special they were. I made a new goal this year to take a breath and live in the moment of these memories instead of regretting it later. I urge you to try and do this as well. Even with college, jobs, and life stresses, time never stops and I urge you to live in the moment!
