Memories

Quite some time ago I seem to recall Ophra Winfry doing a show about

Regressive Therapy.

They talked about Jung's Theory of Genetic Memories.

Could we have memories of the Universe at of prior to birth?

Some how during the process of Birth these memories dissipate from the consciousness of our memories?

Certain things seem to be more prone to be remembered in our memories, while others really do not seem to have much importance to our conscious brain.

We have memories of

  • Smell
  • Sight
  • Hearing
  • Touch
  • Taste

Instantly our memory can be jolted into action and flood our senses with the instances recall of events long since passed.

We have recent events - not so recent - and long term Memories of significant things.

What makes a Memory Memorable?

We have memories that are wonderful and yet others that are horrible.

Do we need a balance of good and bad memories to be well balanced?

Why do YOU remember one event in a way, when someone who lived though those same moments has an entirely different memory of that time?

Can our memories be distorted?

Can Denial of memories can adversely effect ones understanding of one's self?

Recognising - Understanding - letting go of those that may control us in the present and future is the key to successful living.

Saying good bye to those that will constrain our thinking.

Savouring those good memories to refresh your soul when things are not going so well.

Keeping a catalogue of memories to look back on to make you smile will make you day feel worthwhile.

Tomorrow is a new day to make more Memorial Moments for you to recall as Time Goes By....

A Family Story - Missing Moments


Missing One Member - Who Only Came to - stay for two years

going steady New Love Getting Engaged is exciting

My Mum & Dad are quite Proud

Love Grows Wedding Bell

The Happy Couple have their first child a Bonny Bouncing Boy they name
Christopher

He fills their life with such joy this wonderful little boy

he looks on saying we are going to have

three babies Mum one for me one for you and one for daddy

All we wanted was a pigeon Pair I had no idea I was having triplets then

It came as quit a shock to find out they we were having Triples

The Shock turned to Joy and we found ways to cope

Rosalie Jane was No 1 Maree Gladys No 2 Margaret Rita No 3

With our then 3 year old son Christopher I would not have coped
he soon took over his roll as big brother and got the girls in control

Sadly at aged 2years & 1 month Maree could not stay God could see she
was not well and one morning he stole her from my arms

The sadness become less painfully but even now today
31 years since she was taken home to Heaven

we miss her every day wishing she could have stayed


I still hold her memory deep deep within

my heart Now and Always

GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND THE HASTE
AND REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAYBE
INSILENCE.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons
Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others,
even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexation to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others you may become vain
and bitter for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career however humble:
it is a real possession, in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many person strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is
as perennial as the grass
Take kindly the counsel of the years
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born out of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself
You are  a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars
you have a right to be here
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe
is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God and what ever your
labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
it is still a beautiful world.
STRIVE TO BE HAPPY

Bull headed Moments

Don't Be Like a Bull in A
China Shop

Put Your
Brain into Gear
Before
Engaging Your
MOUTH

Listen
before
Jumping to
Conclusions

Don't burn your
Bridges
before you are
Finished Crossing
over.

sometimes I feel like I am stuck right behind the
8 Ball so I keep my eyes on the colours
& avoid the Black that is the key

of the Game

Ever felt like you are living in a PIT and you need help to get out of The PIT

You look up and yell for HELP
you hear a voice saying
Oh it looks like you are in a Pit
Well my Pit is much deeper than yours
another voice says
gee how did you get down there?
Love to help but just have not got enough time right now
hearing more foot steps you call out again
Help
only to hear a voice saying
look I would love to help but it is dirty down there
I am in my best Cloths sorry
you hear a familiar voice it is a relative
who says well you made your pit you have to live in it
yet another voice sounds familiar
it is your last Counsellor who bends down and looks at you
and with the most caring voice says
I understand that you are in a pit right now
how does that make you feel
you scream out Help Help to hear the voice say
I hear that you are feeling rather helpless right now
we will have to schedule your next appointment next week
then along comes the welfare officer saying
oh now you are in that Pit we just can not let the children live with you
and a very familiar voice calls out to you saying
well dear if you must go down pits I just can not stay married to
you I want a divorce.
the light that you once saw at the top of you Pit seems to
have gone quite black
you sit in silence believing you are done for and
there will be no help for you
as your last resort you kneel and pray
Oh God please help me out of this Pit
a voice from above says
my child why did you take so long to talk to me
with trembling voice you say
I am sorry I should have spoken to YOU long ago
with that a bright light at the top appears
a ladder comes down to you
you begin climbing to see a young man in overalls
and a hard hat looking quite amazed
he says I just got this urge to go adventuring and something stopped
me right here...
was he an angel un aware ???

One day at a Time

LightingStorms may come in every shape

Wilted RoseA rose may wither and die one day

Baring teeth Angry moments may over take

Light bulb but through the darkness a light can shine

Note so play a tune or just a note

I dont know be happy with your lot it is better than most

Telephone receiver ring a friend and exchange a word

Coffee-cup share a cuppa with ya mate

Auto go for a drive to see the sites

Island with a palm tree dream a dream it will lift you up

Red rosethe rose will bloom again one day

Crying the tears will stop when again you smile Open-mouthed

Star you are the star of your own sweet life

Black Sheep just think how much better off you are to a sheep

Umbrella you have an umbrella to shield you from the rain

Thumbs-upenjoy each day as it comes your way.

Listening Moments

oldfam1

Every Generation seems

to blame the one before

for the present situation

 

 

 

 

 

oldpiclookalikeme

  We look back through the curtain and

  go on from day to day..

  If we would only learn to LISTEN as well

  as we can HEAR...

  Then we might learn from yesterday

 

goingcemetary1

 

Take a look at the things that you loved along the way

Your parents New Car but don't forget the family that loved you all the way

 

goingcemetary1

Some family members remain close while others drift their own way

Yet others leave this world when

it comes their day.

We can only learn to cherish

the time that we have at this moment

and listen to the here and

NOW..

Hang on to those you love and smile

forget grannusallabout the hurts you may feel

they never meant for that -

that just proves  we are human

and are prone to make mistakes

just hold on to the person

but not onto the regrets

and listen while you CAN

Before it is too Late.
