There are so many memories that have lived in my mind for a long time. Some are really wonderful ones and others are terribly sad ones. Both types of memories are to be cherished as these events made me who I am.
Some of my happy memories are ;
• The day I got married
• Birth of my three kids
• The milestones of my children
• Birth of my three grandchildren
• The day I started my blog
• Finally coming home after spending 5 years in America ( off and on)
My sad memories are centered on the death of my mother when I was 6 and that of my father’s passing away when I was 43. These events were very painful but I learned a lot from them too.
If our lives were just filled with happiness, we would never know its value. I learned that to feel happy, we need to feel sadness as well. I am a product of my good and sad memories.
Memories are the way where we relive those days. If our memories are colored with a feeling of gratitude, we become richer and wiser because of them. If we look at our memories with regret and wistfulness, we lose a bit of our present to them.
Make your memorable days a source of everlasting gratitude.

A beautifully reflective post, Sadje. This here is my favorite part.
“If our lives were just filled with happiness, we would never know its value. I learned that to feel happy, we need to feel sadness as well. I am a product of my good and sad memories.” So true, my friend.
