Memory Lane

Memory Lane

 

Memories we will make

of moments we share

of happy times

and sorrow shared.

 

Memory Lane

We all have one:

Take change of this life

and make it a good one.

 

With lots to share

of love we hold…

sorrow we bare…

while growing old.

These memories we build

and share you see…

BUILD that love

for all to see.

 

They’ll think back;

long after we’re gone,

of the good times we had,

not in sorrow…

but SONG!

 

Take hold of this thought:

Down Memory Lane -­

Share all you can to help

someone else;

Build a Memory Lane.

Giving Thanks on Black Friday

While out with Mom & Dad yesterday – BLACK Friday – while so many were in the mist of thier shopping …. Mom – Dad & I cannot get in the hurry crowds as Daddy cannot walk that well and Mother is slow (age) – so we went shopping (I needed a new watch and went to Stein Mart for one – but nothing found I like…) so we ended up at an Antiuqe shop that I was grateful was open. The Antique Market –  A GREAT  place for various antiques.   It ended up being better than trying to ‘grab’ as so many do during these times….Spending time with them (even though Dad fins a chair and does some sitting) …it was a great day  And one I am grateful I had with them.  So below (which I cropped)

This was on a platter and It is so fitting for the times that probably so many do not think about or don’t know about or just totally forget….something that should be second natue alll year long.  

 

I’m do thankful and grateful that I still have my Mom & Dad when I know so many do not…but as blessings should be everyday, we (including me) do not always convey those feelings of love and being grateful.  So this is just my little way to let them know (even though they probably will never see this) …just how much I appreciate and love them.

 

 

 

Some things just don’t need….

Why we are Proud

From the Darkness of the Day

 

Memories will continue but as the World continues

to grow with each passing year WE continue

to NEVER Forget the events of that Day

The DEATH of those whose lives were cut too short.

This year the Tenth YEAR
We as a Poeple of the Worlds
 World of Nations who were stunned that day
brought the darkness into the light
turning the Darkest Day on American Soil
into the Bright Hope of the future that lies ahead.
 
From this day forward it is my hope that as we continue to
Remember from Year to Year
as we’ve stated
We Will Never Forget
^*^
To now remember not those lives lost
but to turn and remember the lives that
WERE SAVED!
There is WHITE Hope
as the White Dove with the sign of peace
to continue with the WHITE to overtake the darkness
that shattered our lives and our world that day
September 11, 2001
 
Today I wore my White Shirt as the
symbol I created (WhiteShirts) to bring the
Life back into the hearts and mind of those who
we not only lost as a person
but a person who we shared
laughter, love, joy, fear, death, birth, work, freedom, play,
together as one unit or a family of freinds and family
We all lost whether we were connected or not
Because of that day we are now forever connected in the Darkness
that we need to turn to the light of white beauty day
Would the loved ones really want us to stop and dwell on the darkness
or build futures brighter than they could have imagined
I hope tht those who lost loved ones know just how
much the World as a Whole Unit
felt your pain that day and the days that would come
May all those who have gone continue to rest in peace
but may you savor the joys of life share with them in your hearts
 
 
 
This is my last 10 year remberance wearing the
WHITE SHIRT for all of your loved ones.

(yes it is White!)

^*^ From this Day ^*^
