Collecting Memories

For some of us, surrounding ourselves with momentos of the past comforts us. As time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to recall the details of our past experiences. But when reminiscing over our photos and treasured knick knacks, we are quickly brought back to the exact moment in time that we took these pictures and were given these gifts. We experience the same feelings and emotions that we once had. Sometimes, they bring tears to our eyes, missing what we once had and at other times, they bring joy to our heart. Because our memories are no longer what they should be, collecting items that have meaning to us is very important. Today, celebrate each moment, for it will soon be a vague memory. Treasure your photos and personal items for they will remind you of your sparkling moments.

How can these bring me such sadness and joy at the same time...
