“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”— Unknown

How can we reach an understanding about things, if we don’t give it meaning? It is like listening to a new song for the first time.  We can’t relate to the new song until we begin to build associations around it. After building new associations to the song, it becomes meaningful to us. We begin to link current events in our lives to the new song. The song becomes real to us. That’s why we enjoy listening to old songs we grew up with because they trigger memories, images and feelings. We re-experience past events as though it was yesterday.  The songs from past events are now more meaningful than before because it takes us back to a place we have forgotten about so long ago. It is like watching a black and white picture slowly changing to different colors.

Moment in Time

“Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect.”— Unknown

There is no such thing is a perfect moment. Waiting for the perfect moment is only created in our heads. Today we have the privilege to take the moment and make it to near perfect.  In other words, we can be proactive about making every moment count in our lives today.  Moment is really all we have, because we’re living in the present. We have memories full of moments that we can take a look at and we can look forward to new moments in our future.  But we don’t need to stay in the past nor in our future. We can live now in this moment.

When we return back to our stomping grounds it evoke memories of our past. It is an experience of old familiarity. We think about how things used to be in our youth. We also experience the innocence of that time period when things were fresh and new.  These memories were the beginning of our foundation that made us what we are today. It is those things we said goodbye to so long ago that we are returning back to.  It is mainly the good memories we like to think about and say hello to.

 

 

When Saying Goodbye

Goodbye Summer 2011

Post Written By Eugene Morgan

Saying goodbye is hard to do when we know it’s indefinite. When saying goodbye, seems final, we’re still left with good memories of that person. Our memory of them can be our treasure. We may have kept pictures of them, recording of their voice, and the feeling of them we use to get while in their presence. These things can aid us in eliciting good memories of them in happy times.  Now these memories are incorporated in us. They are a part of us forever. The memory of that person never dies. We take it wherever we go. When we think of that person, we relive the experiences we had with that person.
