A poem...
Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 6:00AM While you're waiting for the next challenge, I thought I'd share this poem that Lisa posted over on the message board. It's by Steve Channing and is called "Memories."
When you need to...reach down inside and take out one of your precious memories, wipe away the cobwebs, lay it out in front of you, and let the sunshine and the sounds engulf you, revel in the experience of it, re-live each precious moment, be overwhelmed by them and taste the wonderful, sweet tearsthat are their gift. When your needs have been almost satisfied, pause for one more second, then gently fold it back up, give it a big hug and tender kiss and return the treasure to where you found it. Then to make the experience complete, find someone special and share the feelings with them…for surely something as this is meant to be shared! Don’t be afraid of using them that's what memories are for. You will never lose them…for as certain. As the sun will rise tomorrow, Love once attained, is never lost.
Isn't that just perfect? I'm really thinking about typing this one out and framing it somewhere...

That's a beautiful poem! Thanks Lisa.
These are definitely making me hungry, especially Tania's photos of Chinese food. :)
Thank you all for your inspiration and for sharing your hearts while encouraging us to do the same as we honor the memories of those whom we have loved who have gone on--I won't say whom we've lost, because we never, ever "lose" them. Blessings to each of you as you grieve, go forward and pay tribute to them by living your very best lives.
