Fond Memories

Have you looked in your treasure chest of the mind?
Fond memories wrapped in pearls of the past
and
packages of sheer fantasy.
Do we forget the simple pleasures of life,
memories that are likened to fleeting snapshots
that are frozen in time?
These memories brought into view
with just a thought
or
giving you the feeling of deja vu.
One of the first memories that comes to mind was when I was a child.
We lived in the city,
with a drug store on the corner,
and
in this drug store a counter that was called
a soda fountain.
They prepared meals
and
on display many delicious delights.
My friend and I would go flying to the drug store laughing, jumping
and
running with glee because they would give us a
free glass of water
Sitting behind the front door at the drug store,
reading comic books, people walking by with a smile on their face.
Simple pleasures but remembered for a lifetime.
Your first kiss from the boy who stole your heart, then ran away to kiss another the following week.
Take a moment in your busy life,
sit,
have a cup of tea
and
enjoy the snapshots stored within your chest
of
life's memories.

Love and Hugs
Bon-Bon

Good idea!
Too bad we have to schedule a little time for reflection.
Thanks.

Hello Bonnie

Your words speak volumes and we all need to remember the good times, the simple things and not be too preoccupied with trivial things that don't really matter.  We all need to stop and smell the roses more often.

Take care........Sue

The technicolor in that treasure box is amazing--some pictures don't fade at all, and ironically some only become more vivid!

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Bonnie, this is so very true, sweet friend, we all must always cherish all these special memories and take them out whenever we feel low to be reminded of what we are and what is represented of ourselves! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, keep collecting, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bonnie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
