Memories Matter More

Morning Mantra: “A good life is a collection of happy memories.”The way I see it, the way we get to live forever is through memories stored in the hearts and souls of those whose lives we touch. That’s our soul print. I realize that it is truly hard in our oh so commercial society to not get caught up in the busyness and rush of the season. But try not to focus so much on the material things this season, but rather on creating memories that can be called upon at will and savored randomly. Focus on simple traditions that are kept in future generations of shared moments that create feelings of warmth and comfort forever.These are the things that matter.  Too many people feel like failures if they don’t have the money to buy lavish gifts and decorations, but I can assure you, I don’t remember but maybe 2 or 3 gifts I received over the years, but I do remember how I felt spending time with my friends and family. The time I spent baking cookies with my kids and now grandkids. The joy I felt driving around looking at the lights in town. The memories of decorating the front door with my mom for the annual town competition.  The peace I feel singing carols at the nursing home.  And fun I had riding my horse in the snow with friends.It doesn’t take a lot of money or fancy things to make the holidays bright.  It just takes caring for each other and some time spent.   It seems to me we should spend our lives in a conscious state of creating these moments that live on. Memories matter.#BeAMemoryMaker #BeHappy #BeHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippie #HorsehippieBoutique
