  Losing Memories  
 
Today everyone is worried about Alzheimers and other aging diseases that affect a person's memory, I have begun to worry about how we are losing memories by missing out on the chance to make those memories.

For those of us who grew up in simpler times we remember Saturday night dominoes, Monopoly or whatever gave we played around the kitchen table. We have the memory of shelling peas on the porch with our grandmother, mother, aunts, cousins and occasionally a neighbor or two.  Winter meant a jig saw puzzle and summer meant croquet or baseball in the back yard.

Family reunions were a big deal and valiant efforts were made to attend and "keep in touch."  Memories today are television? Maybe nintendo? Going to the mall? What will the child born in 2000 store in their memory bank when they think back to Saturday nights?

I wonder if we are losing our memories and it isn't caused by Alzheimers - it's caused by running too fast. 		 

 

  

You get this day only once, don't waste it in misery.

 

If you teach your children nothing else - teach them

"choice is made = price is paid"

 

  

The Lord gives you the face you wear,

You choose the expression you wear.

 

If the people you are "hanging with" don't make you happy,

What the hell are you still doing there?
