LadyPhoenix1965: Revel in the memory of it...


That's the way I look at it!! thumbs up

Be glad it happened. Feel fortunate!! Life is full of memories. No, my life wasn't perfect, but I wouldn't change most of it for anything in the world! I've gotten to know some WONDERFUL people, whom I'd never want to trade for anything in the world!!!

Yup, memories are made from moments. Choose which ones you want to remember. I choose to remember the good, learn from the bad but not dwell upon them. grin

All of life is a learning experience. We live and some of us actually pay attention and learn. I'm a good student. The day I stop learning is the day I die.

Every experiences we have contributes to the person we are today and no matter how difficult it may be at times to move on and leave something or someone behind we should be thankful that we were able to have those experiences, emotions, learning experiences.

How empty our lives would be and how little we would grow if each relationship or opportunity was the only one we experienced in our lives.

Great quote Owen! bouquet

It means to enjoy the journey of your life, and look back with happiness at the good times in it, rather than mourn the passing of any of them. It's something I've finally been able to do for a while now regarding my late husband...to not cry because it ended so soon, but to smile because we had that brief, but very happy, time together.

It's the lesson I take forward with me now, knowing it even more now than I did then. wine

Dean Martin - Memories are Made of This


Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
you can't beat the memeories you gave-a me

Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor

With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this



wave

If it was truly special I believe you must do both. When someone you liked, lusted, and loved disappears from your life you feel terrible and yes cry. We have to go through this stage in order to enjoy the smile because it happened. After time you can look back and it does bring warmth and a smile. Fond memories build our character and creates that mystery we call a soul.

Great explanation, JB!!! I couldn't have said it better, myself! Everything happens for a reason. And how much richer we are for having experienced certain things. It forms us into the people we are. wine thumbs up
