Becky's Thought of the Month

Its funny how random memories pop into your head at any given time. You may be going through a box and one single item that you see such as a baseball may remind you of a time years ago when you held that ball for the first time not ever wanting to let it go. Or maybe you might find a letter or picture that takes you back to your elementary days flooding your head with thoughts you have not had for years and years and years. Even performing a task such as organizing a drawer can take you back to when you were organizing your first apartment. I have had thoughts pop into my head due to smells that remind me of places and people. Those usually take me a minute to figure out but in the end for me smells are the most potent of reminders… ha ha (Sorry had to laugh at my own joke). I love memories. They are a good part of what forms us into the people we are. They are what allows us to hold on to a pleasant instance for a lifetime. Imagine what the world would be like if you did not have memories. You would make the same mistakes over and over again. You would forget a loved one the instant he/she is taken out of your life. I am thankful for my memories. And I am thankful to all those who have helped me form them. And I can not wait to make many many more.
