I feel like it was just yesterday (Friday August 31st) that l woke up – headed down to work and was looking forward to seeing Davido perform live at The House of Blues 😊 thinking and dreaming about all the things l would do this long weekend…
It’s 10:20AM Tuesday – Labor Day is over and l feel like l
literally just got off work on Friday. WTF!
What does this mean… Does it even mean anything.. How is it
already September 4, 2018! Wasn’t it a few short months ago – l was celebrating
New Year – coming back from Spain – thinking wow, l serve a God who has allowed
me to see 2018 😉 – I’m so grateful. Now, we are so close to
2019 – l feel like if l blink a few times, we will be living in 2019? I’ve felt
this feeling for a while now - so this year, l decided to create a 2018 memory
box. This box will take inventory of all the interesting things l did in 2018
from great trips, great food, great conversations, great concerts, great
purchases – notes on highs/notes on lows and pictures to last a lifetime. Check out ‘Free Prints’ – you can print 85
4x6 pictures for FREE EVERY MONTH <- for="" only="" pay="" shipping="" span="" you="">..
So – l have decided to be old school (even though l subscribe to iCloud), to
have a hard copy of select memories that I can look back on and say wow – l sure
did live an interesting, it wasn’t a short one at all. It just felt short because
l was always doing one thing or another.
I also have postcards, a few pictures and refrigerator
magnets of the places I’ve gone to this year and a picture of my adorable God
Daughter and truly faithful Dog, Louie on my fridge – a postcard from the
Netherlands, another one from Spain, Refrigerator Magnets from Spain, Turkey,
Rome, NYC, Boston, Maryland, Florida and a few others l can’t remember at the
moment – so every time l open my fridge, l glance at it and remind myself even though
the time is moving so fast – I’m sure as hell moving fast with it by making sure
l create new memories on the way.
On the flip side, life can seem dull, boring and quite
frankly just the same. Just like you, I do have those moments when l feel like
a robot – wake up at 5 – 5:15AM, coffee + meditation, workout, walk Louie, take
a shower, commute to work, work, meetings, work, meetings, mundane conversations
at work, work, work, small talk with colleagues, work, work, lunch (barely),
work, meetings, work, work, coffee break, wooorrrrrkkkkkkkk, commute back home,
walk Louie, relax – dammnnn it’s 10PM already need to sleep and repeat the cycle.
So, by creating this memory box or anytime l look at my fridge – it reminds me
that although for the most part my life is as I’ve just described, l do divert from
the normal routine by visiting a new restaurant, watching the latest movie at
the cinema, laughing with friends about everything and nothing, shopping
online, decorating my place or seeing a new face while visiting a new place.
The intent is to ensure l create some form of memory – no matter how small!
Have a blessed week everyone.
Written with Love,
Pamela
