Good And Happy

Memories

"Beautiful"

“The best things in life

are free:

hugs, smiles, friends, kisses, family, sleep, love, laughter

and good memories”

How True are these words!

Material objects are nice to have

but they cannot talk, do or hug.

One of our earliest

and most comforting memories

is of mother cuddling us as a baby,

smiling and talking to us.

Even today,

at over fifty years old,

I can still remember my mum’s brooch

of two white cats curled up together.

A Beautiful memory

of my mother

who is no longer with us.

And what would we do

for just one more cuddle

with our loved ones who have died?

Whilst we are

Altogether and Alive,

let’s Love and Appreciate

each other

Today.

Each one of us

has their own Unique Smile.

Every one of us

has that Special Laugh.

How ‘often’

do we Smile and Laugh.

How much ‘Time’

do we spend

with those we Love?

“Time” itself is free

but goes by so quickly

that if we ‘blink’,

we miss it.

Let’s ‘use’ our Time Wisely

and

really take in these

Beautiful ‘aspects’ of Life.

A Hug.

A Smile.

A Friend.

A Kiss.

Family.

Sleep.

Love.

Laughter.

Good and Happy Memories.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
