Memories are very private things, a personal storehouse of treasures and sorrows. What a gift God gave us when He created our brains with the ability to remember!

Precious Gift

What am I doing with this precious ability to recall what happened in the past? If I use it to remember enjoyments and interesting experiences, it will give me a saving perspective on the problems I am encountering in the here and now. I can also use the gift of memory for storing up today's blessings to tide me over future woes.

Memory

Yours Truly

If you have been given the gift of a good, clear memory, how do you use it?

It isn't likely that God conferred this gift on you for the purpose of dredging up old wrongs, injured feelings, futile regrets and personal sufferings. That would clearly be a misuse of His gift, when everyone has so many pleasant and satisfying things to remember.

Remember

The virtue of a person is measured not by his outstanding efforts, but by his everyday behavior. (Blaise Pascal in A Calendar Of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 21 November)

When you remember me,

• It means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. 
• It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. 
• It means that if we meet again, you will know me.  
• It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
• For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. ...
• If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone.
• If you forget me, part of who I am will be gone.

(Frederick Buechner, Listening To Your Life, 16 January)

Yesterday I installed the third of three Serif programs I recently purchased, PhotoPlus X4.  This is a photo editor similar to Adobe Photoshop.

I found and downloaded a 21-page PDF titled, Working With Rootsweb FreePages Accounts by Patricia Geary.  I believe this document has all of the information I will need to start setting up my FreePages website on Ancestry.com. The Ancestry help pages leave a lot to be desired. It's very important to understand the folder structure on the host before starting.

This And That

... if my recollection serves me, I seem to remember that you have been talking about doing this or that for quite some time now. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 6 August) 27 August 2012

Forgetting And Remembering

Seat of Forgetting and Remembering

"They teach us to remember; why do they not teach us to forget? There is not a man living who has not, some time in his life, admitted that memory was as much of a curse as a blessing." (Francis Durivage, with a small change to the phrase, "why do not they" in Pulling Your Own Strings by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, p. 71) 11 February 2012
