Nestled in the quiet of the morning and the stillness of the moment, thoughts of times past seem to have landed midst the field of today’s agenda. Currently relieved of the physical restraints brought on by hosting the residence crasher called Parkinson’s, reflections of times past flood the cauldron of memories. A place, an event, children, distant family, and friends each prompt thoughts of experiences past. Feelings of peace, joy, love, enjoyment and contentment fill the space between now and then so fondly called memory. It is the associated emotion or feeling that seems to give the memory its boost. An event without an associated meaning would be as lost as light in a black hole or music not heard in a sound proof room. As thoughts of gratitude for the opportunities of memories emerge, a foundation of thankfulness underpins the hope upon which we stand as we peer into the events of today and what is to come. With gratitude as a companion and thankfulness as our foundation, we leap into the adventures of today from which the memories of tomorrow will be crafted. May your companion be nurtured and your walkway be solid!
