Nov. 5, 2009 - The Happy Things

I'm not sure why I finally decided to post about this. Maybe it was because of my Mum's post about happy memories. Perhaps.

I could say this has been on my mind lately, it would be the truth, but I could be more accurate if I said, this has been on my mind for awhile. Awhile as in, a year or two.  There have been a few things going on that have really brought this thought forward, making me remember, and feel more strongly about it then ever.

So, what am I talking about? I'll put it simply, the happy things.

I have realized that many, fights, grudges, contention, feuds, arguments, rivalry, and quarrels come into being because somebody, or maybe even everybody, wasn't remembering the happy times.

Let me explain. More then once Eyebright and I have been angry with each other. There have been the times when she has taken the best for herself, leaving me with second best. There have been times when we've yelled at each other, and times when we haven't wanted to speak to each other at all.

However there have also been times when we have laughed so hard together we made each other sick. There have been long walks filled with sisterly conversation, the times when she has given me the best being content with second best for herself. There have been times when she has been so happy and excited for me she didn't have time to be jealous. Times when she has comforted, reassured, and supported me. I didn't mean for this post to be a tribute to my sister though.

My whole point in this was, there have been good times and bad times. Which paragraph was more pleasant for you to read? I would hope the second one. If it's Eyebright reading this, I know the second one.

I have the good and the bad memories of every person in my family. When I've grown up and moved away, which ones will I want to remember the most? 

Many a time I have seen, or heard of complete families breaking up because someone didn't remember those happy times. Someone didn't remember how much time the person they are angry with put into their lives. Someone was only thinking of those times when, as a human, they slipped, and did something not so happy.

I don't want this to happen to my family, I want to always remember the happy times and even if some of the unpleasant family experiences stick with me, I don't want them to blind out the other times.

So here I am today, encouraging you to remember the happy things with me.

Hey!
IT's been a while since we've talked, so I thought that I'd pop by and leave you a comment, and ask how you were doing.
Hope all is well,
~Ashley
