Memories...... Grateful for them and more...

I have a terrible memory, ask me in the morning what we did or talked about the night before, and more often than not I will draw a blank.

However, I do have some great memories........

Memories of when I was a little girl and going to visit my grandparents - we would collect the eggs and feed the chooks;

Remembering going on  a grade 2 excursion and getting to wear a new red dress with tiny little straps on it;

The smell of the paste in the pink pots we used at primary school.....

Then as I get older -

Winning my first ribbon at Pony Club;

My first "real" kiss (at an Iona College school dance, if you must know) - how cliched!

The last day of school.

Meeting the love of my life.

Getting married (I remember vividly walking up the back steps to the Church, being handed a glass of water and my dad looking at me intently saying "you don't have to do this if you don't want to".)
 I did it - Best. Decision. Ever.

Finding out I was pregnant.

Holding my babies for the first time.

Arriving in London, travelling in Italy etc.

Great memories.  I think having written this I have only started to tap into the wonderful memories I have.

I am hoping to create beautiful memories for my children, just not sure how I am doing with that.
