All things shall pass...

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. -The Wonder Years

We do not remember days; we remember moments. -Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand

Memory… is the diary that we all carry about with us. -Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Recalling days of sadness, memories haunt me. Recalling days of happiness, I haunt my memories. -Robert Brault

A childhood is what anyone wants to remember of it. It leaves behind no fossils, except perhaps in fiction. -Carol Shields

The past is never dead, it is not even past. -William Faulkner

The sense of smell can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back pictures as sharp as photographs of scenes that had left the conscious mind. -Thalassa Cruso, To Everything There is a Season, 1973

He writes on every flower that blooms
And each green spire of springing grass,
On each bright bird aloft in flight
And every flash of life and light:
This, too, shall pass.
Yet, flowing through each fleeting scene,
God’s mercies never cease.
All flows from God and goes to God,
And loving Him is peace.

Yesterdays gone, and tomorrow may never be mine. Lord, help me today, show me the way. Teach me to take one day at a time.

Happy New Year 2010! May this year will be another blessed year for each one of us.
