MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY

 “Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.

~ MEMORIES ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

Some memories are realities ...  and are better than anything that can
ever happen to one again.

Willa Cather

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

When one is young, the world is large and the thought of exploring it
is exciting. Each year that we live we add to our memory chest ... and
by middle age those memories are substantial. I have found as I have
grown older that I remember more of the good things that have happened
in my life than the bad. The good things seem to become sharper as
time goes by ... and the bad seem less so. It's almost as though the
memory has turned into a "feeling" rather than a specific event.

When I work on the fourth and the eighth Steps, my life flashes before
me and, like one of those calendars from an old movie, time whizzes by
and people who have been part of my life hurtle through space ... each
triggering a memory.

Memories aren't made more poignant by time. One might think that a
decade of recurring events might be remembered with more clarity than
a year ... but I have found in the case of my own memories that it is
the quality and intensity of time that produces the kind of memories
Willa Cather talks about. A year or two or three, given the right
cir****tances, can produce the feelings we love our memories to
trigger, more than those experienced during a lifetime. And a lifetime
of memories can be dwindled into just moments.


ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I will cherish my memories ~ Because I may never experience the
reality of some of them again.
