In the mysterious deep recesses
of your mind
is a special private place,
a safe and secure BANK,
where thousands and thousands
of wonderful MEMORIES are stored.
All the special moments in your life
are neatly filed there….forever.
Every precious moment you
ever experienced.
All the people you ever knew.
All the hopes you ever had.
All the dreams you ever dreamed
are there.
And by some MIRACLE
you can send a signal to that space
and instantly RETRIEVE
any one of those MEMORIES
and RELIVE it.
You can pick and choose what you want.
Many of the MEMORIES are HEALING ONES.
In a SAD moment
you can RETRIEVE a MEMORY of JOY.
In a moment of DISCOURAGEMENT
you can pull out a MEMORY of TRIUMPH.
In a moment of LONELINESS
you can RETRIEVE NOSTALGIA and COMFORT.
Every image, every emotion,
every experience is there.
And YOU get to CHOOSE
IF….WHAT…and WHEN
to RETRIEVE.
It’s truly a MIRACLE.

This post reminded me that in a way memories are the spices that flavor our character. What a lucky daughter I am to have a father that has filled my life with fond memories and then shared how to draw on those memories to continually enrich life. Thank you.
