Treasures

*
Each phase of life is a treasure to cherish. We try to not be clutterbugs, saving everything that comes our way, but there are just some things that can't be gotten rid of.
*
Cleaning out my closet, which was full of boxes and tubs for years, leads for reliving some cherished memories. It's amazing how much you can forget, until you come across items that rekindle the memory. It's amazing what you feel is important to keep, years past...and then becomes a difficult decision in the present, when trying to downsize.
Toys, collections of past interests, first Bibles, a box of letters from ALL your teen relationships with doodles and such, little dolls, embroidery supplies, etc. These, and so many more, have a place in my life, a place that will always be!
*
It's sad, when you think about all the time that has past, so quickly at that! A relative was mentioning just today at how long the days seem, but how short the years really are.
*
Cherish the memories, pick all the flowers you can on this road of life, and savor the moment.
