A personal journey is part of the generational relay.
Live your legacy and then pass it on.
What the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we lived. In the end, it's the family stories that are worth the storage.
I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats (...)
The memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house, like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back with wonder.
Build traditions of family vacations and trips and outings. These memories will never be forgotten by your children.
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflecting also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
A life long blessing for children is to fill them with warm memories of times together.
Happy memories become treasures in the heart to pull out on the tough days of adulthood.
Remember, when the sound of little feet
was the music we danced to week to week?
Remember when......?
When you are older you will understand how precious little things, seemingly of no value in themselves, can be loved and prized above all price when they convey the love and thoughtfulness of a good heart.
