Memories. We do not remember days; we remember moments. " Cesare Pavese


Once upon a memory someone wiped away a tear, held me close and loved me, "Thank you, Mother dear." Author Unknown


A good memory power depends on the vigor and energy of the brain. Mat Fox, Improve Your Memory


Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance, the lasting perfume. Jean de Boufflers


Imagination has a great potential to improve your memory. It allows traveling beyond the horizon, attaching various stories or images to the things you wish to remember, in turn it will strengthen your memory. William D, Memory


The details that we hold so fast, are nothing more than memories past. Jann Arden, Feeding My Mother


Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved. Thomas Fuller

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.

--REINHOLD NIEBUHR
