Memories

Call me sentimental, but I've been feeling a little nostalgic lately.  There have been a number of things that have pushed my nostalga button the last few weeks.  At those times I get real quiet.  Sometimes, a little misty.  I think of the lovely teen-aged girl I met in 1963 and ended up marrying in 1966.  I've been thinking of the paths we've walked together, the smiles and laughter we've shared, the pain we've endured, the decision we've made, the places we've lived, the beautiful girls we've raised.  Memories.  Birthday parties, picnics, vacation trips, school projects, graduation excitement quiet talks, weddings.  Births of grandchildren.  Sometimes it seems like things were much simpler then.  Probably wasn't; but it seems so.  Memories.  There are times that my bride and I glance back over our shoulders and ask each other those gutsy questions, like "If we had the chance to do it all again, would we?"  You bet.  "Could we?"  No doubt.  Fact is, we still do.  We're still building memories.  Today we find ourselves investing ourselves in the lives of a few who love the same things...who realize that if you don't take the time, you won't have the stuff which makes life bearable.  People who continue to make memories aren't just sentimental...they're smart.  After all, tomorrow's memories come from today's decisions!!
