Hidden
in the deep corners of our heart,

Every
moment as we breathe…

We think
of some of these!

I guess we all carry a box full of Memories with us. These get triggered
with a song, a fragrance, a taste, a touch, a book, a random mention of place or
person, a status update or just like that, don’t they? If the memories are pleasant
and happy…then do keep thinking about them…as they will bring in all the good
feelings. Then you can amplify those good feelings by taking yourself to those
beautiful memories and reliving them.

However what happens when we are reminded of an unpleasant event or
person or situation…? We sulk, we crib, we cry and the blame game and the guilt
trips begin. Just when you notice all this, immediately pull a pleasant, a
super pleasant memory from your box. Don’t wait…the idea here is to do this
quickly and watch as your feelings change now…easily and effortlessly!

Some situations or people would have hurt you in the past, yet we have
the complete freedom to choose the best memory, NOW! So what are you
waiting for folks…go ahead and grab some of the loving memories and keep
amplifying them…and bring in all the best feelings, NOW!

What are some of the memories closest to your heart? What makes you
Smile? What makes you feel Loved? I am eager and curious…so how about sharing
some of your thoughts in the comments, now!

Loved your poem – each line triggered a memory for me and made me smile. Nicely done.
Glad I could do that Suzy 🙂 your post about your dad resonated so well…I actually called up my Dad 🙂
So glad you did Gayu. Dad's are special.
Agree with Suzy… each expression brought some wonderful memories live at this end too. Happy memories never fail to warm your heart but sad ones can tear you apart too! 🙂
Very true Shilpa, sad ones do tear you apart, however, recently I have learnt the art to focus on good ones…as they bring a smile, fill my heart with gratitude….and fill me love!!! Sad memories at times limit us…and I am sure we all want to enjoy life to fullest….<3
So let's bring in all happy stuff and keep smiling!!!!
Aww…. loved this one Gayu..it triggered a lot of memories in me too 🙂
Hugs ammu<3 I can see u smile…..and relive all the wonderful moments!!
Those little things you do now make great memories later in life. Good start, looking forward to reading the rest in this series 🙂
I love your DP…so bubbly 🙂 little things do matter a lot!! Thanks so much, hope you will enjoy reading the rest of the prompts as well….!!
Beautiful post Gayu. "Just when you notice all this, immediately pull a pleasant, a super pleasant memory from your box." is the best part.
Thanks Geeta…that's what matters…we have the freedom to choowe the Best!
Gayu, your poem is a very beautiful blending of memories from different stages of life.You rightly feel that our memories are stored in a box, which come out and make us smile in intervals.
Thanks for your lovely comments…they mean a lot!!! Keep smiling!!!!

A lovely long wonderful poem covering all the aspects of childhood to adult. We should focus our energies on the beautiful moments. It's very sweet of you to call up your Dad.
Suzy's post reminded me so much of my childhood, my visits to temples with Dad and his advice of which book to pick up! I had to call him up…:) <3 The poem was a bit too long…hehehehehe 😛
so many memories flowing through my mind now thanks to your poem!
