I've always loved looking at old pictures. I suppose you could call me a nostalgic person because I love looking back at the "good ol' days." You know, back when things were simpler and the days were sweeter. A lot of times I get kind of teary-eyed looking at pictures from way back when I was "little." I just feel so blessed to have had such a great childhood and a great family. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs, "Precious Memories." If you have never heard it, I strongly encourage you to look it up and listen to it. It's a sweet song that most everyone can relate to.
All of this got me thinking. We don't realize how good life is and how happy we are until a couple years later when we look back on it. What if today is a "precious memory"? We don't have to appreciate the good times after they've happened. Why not enjoy them while we're in them?
I'm the type that always looks toward the future. I remember when I was in middle school how I just wanted to be in high school. Now that I'm in high school, I'm really excited about college. I do think it's a good thing to think about my future, but I also know that I have to seize the moment and enjoy being a teenager.
So, I guess I'm just trying to say that we should enjoy the little things. Enjoy every moment. Cherish your family. Every day, keep making precious memories.
