In the January 27, 2014 Time Magazine article by Lily Rothman, the author quotes artist, Brendan O’Connell, “Nostalgia makes memory warm.” O’Connell stopped to say parenthetically, “That’s actually a significant thought,” and I paused. Hmm – memories, nostalgia, warmth. Yes, it’s true. Not all memories are warm, but all nostalgic memories are warm. Do you agree? When you think of warm memories, what comes to mind?
Childhood
Climbing
Hillsides
Into
Lands
Dense with
Hidden
Occupants
Ordering Hot
Dogs.
Hah! That’s my whimsical acrostic for today – looking back on yesterdays.
But, how about Making Memories Today?
There’s no better place to make memories than where you are right now today! For me, whether it is in the warm desert on vacation in the southern California sun or back home in the cold snows of Montana, each day is a memory in the making. The climate doesn’t determine the warmth of the memories. The people I am with, the events we choose, the lessons I learn, the visions I absorb. Those are the nostalgia of tomorrow. I am making warm memories today – wherever I am!
A roadrunner just ran in front of me… oh my! Look up! Watch the world around you.
Live Love! Create Nostalgia today.

I love you, Mom. Can’t wait to come to Montana this summer and create more warm memories!
Thanks for another thought-provoking read, I enjoyed visiting.
I’m so glad to have you as a visitor, Emma. Time for me to go see what “basilandbees” is up to!! 🙂
